I have finally got round to releasing my MBR and ext2 VBR to the public domain :D They can be found on GitHub. Comments and suggestions welcome!

One of my hopes in doing this is that newbies have a lighter weight option than GRUB if they don't want to start with rolling their own bootloader. I don't think this project is there yet, as this bootloader loads inode 5 (the bootloader inode) of an ext2 filesystem, and putting your boot code there is a slightly arcane process.
