I would really like to do this job, but unfortunately I currently work
on the quite urgent project and I don't enough time and energy to join
to another project. Anyway, I am impressed with your work and I hope
that I will be able to help in the future.

I've decided to write my own code to execute bootstrap from MBR. At
this moment I test the functions which are responsible for ATA
protocol support. If I have any positive results, I will post my
observations.
