Just that it detects the MBR table and mounts those partitions within. Nothing to special :D .

Hello all,
NexBoot version 0.2 is out! This version adds a couple new features, including:
UEFI support
The ability to enter long mode when loading an ELF64 kernel
and RSDP detection.
The UEFI version can only boot from the ESP right now.
This bootloader could easily be used for booting hobby OSes.
Greetings,
nexos

The Nexware Project has gone underneath a shift in direction. The current direction is to replace GNU with a light weight set of utilities.
And the first utility went on GitHub today! It is called utilfs, and is currently in early development. It aims to provide a set of utilities to:
Manage ext2 and FAT12/16/32 volumes
Manage partitions on a volume
And write out exact sectors to a disk image
It can be found at https://github.com/Nexware-Project/utilfs
