You can get the overlay here: http://home.comcast.net/~plevine457
P.S. There doesn't seem to be any bugs but this my first ebuild (and webpage) so try to go easy on me.

| Maybe I'm missing something; why would you want your /boot partition to be Reiser4? There's no WAY you're getting any better performance by doing that. |

Some people don't have /boot partitions. |

| And the boot sector can easily get corrupted. It's a good idea to embed at least enough for a grub prompt on the root partition as a failsafe. |

Scratch that...
Acronis OS Selector recognizes the partition as bootable but doesn't seem to properly chainload it (reboots on attempt).
I'm not sure if other bootloaders are compatible (BootitNG should be completely FS independent) but it is confirmed working
with the MBR.
P.S. Also note that symbolic links are not supported |

Sort of OT, but I find it ironic that you put "F--k paid software!!!" on your site, yet <meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Publisher 11"> is in the head of your page. Also, 800KB is a ridiculous size for an html file, espessially since the actual file you're linking to is only 93KB. You should really learn how code html, or at the very least, throw a direct link to the file.
