No, it says to install the boot code into the first partition of the |
| 13 |
disk, not the mbr. This would be useful if you use a microsoft mbr |
| 14 |
(fdisk /mbr, or fixboot from a recovery console), which looks for the |
| 15 |
'active' partition to determine which OS to load. |

You want "setup (hd0)" |
