I created three patches against the debian-next branch which you can see at
https://github.com/mmehnert/live-build/commits/devel
the repository URL is https://github.com/mmehnert/live-build.git.
Please feel free to merge or cherry-pick from my "devel" branch.
624fe33 add option to start partition at specific place for older BIOS
I had a computer with a BIOS that neither accepts USB sticks with hybrid
images nor does it recognize partitions that start at sectors chosen by
the "optimized" layout in parted when using the hdd target. To be able
to simulate DOS compatible partition layouts, I added the option
--hdd-partition-start [parted unit, e.g. 63s]
If not specified or empty, live-build behaves like before this patch.
