7.10. boot-directdisk.bbclass

The boot-directdisk class creates an image that can be placed directly onto a hard disk using dd and then booted. The image uses SYSLINUX.

The end result is a 512 boot sector populated with a Master Boot Record (MBR) and partition table followed by an MSDOS FAT16 partition containing SYSLINUX and a Linux kernel completed by the ext2 and ext3 root filesystems.
