Ahh, so why is freeloader complaining about the missing multiboot header?

Well, I was just going to copy the updated files I just built over the 
existing ones in the qemu image, but the disk was full, so I decided to 
enlarge it.  That required a reformat which led me to the problems.  It 
may very well work if I used the boot image to have reactos format the 
virtual drive, but it should work with mtools as well.  If it doesn't I 
either need to figure out what I'm doing wrong or find the bug in the 
code and fix it.
