Bootable partitions

[Paul Lussier]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if actually marking a partition as "Bootable" really
matters?  We're trying to partition some drives in an automated
fashion (using FAI) in orer to test some software
installation/upgrading procedures. Unfortunately, FAI only allows for
a single partition to be marked as "Bootable".  

This seems like a silly and arbitraty restriction, unfortunately,
circumventing it is going to be a pain.  If it doesn't matter, I won't
bother, otherwise I'll probably have to write a post-install script
which wraps around sfdisk.

Thanks.
