I'm afraid a stage 1 -like thing will be needed on usparc. I have found
few docs about the actual implementation of the disk boot process on
usparc, but it sounds like "load the second sector of disk, and run it"
(the first sectors is filled with the partition table). I still have no
success in making a bot floppy "by hand" (parted/fdisk + dd). I get a
magic number error, while the crc in the partition table should be
correct. I'll check that when I have more time, in 3~4 weeks.
