    44However, I don't think that booting will work from such a media as I suppose the BIOS will access the real VBR (because virtualization is not in effect on bootup). I have no clue what will happen if the values in the real VBR deviate from those emulated later on.[[BR]]

     7Another note: the number of hidden sectors is not necessarily 63. That's because of the necessity to align the "partition" to a cylinder boundary (OS/2 is very picky about that, it was such a pain in the butt). I decided to align the END of the partition to a cylinder boundary which means the START will not align if the partition is not an exact multiple of 255 (NumHeads) *63 (SectorsPerTrack) sectors.
