My mistake, I misunderstood by not seeing the difference between hda and 
hda1. If I've been able to follow this thread since I started it then I 
get the idea that while there is a _Master_ BR at the start of hda, 
there is also a space at the start of hda1 and each partition - for the 
purpose of each partition being able to be bootable and hold a boot manager.

I am basically on track?
