[ros-kernel] Freeldr issue

[Jeff Smith]

that sounds great, I was wondering, why doesn't freeldr.sys get copied to
the HD with the other files? I mean from the latest CVS installer I use on
thier computer, it tried copying the freeldr.sys file at the end just as it
said something like hit enter to reboot. so when you hit enter, it tries
copying the file and crashes, then we're lost, but I think your on to
something with the order of things, if we do get reactOS to back up the MBR,
that might be a repair option we can implement in future build of ReactOS
