The MLO/u-boot.img files are now dd'ed to the disk:

dd if=MLO of=/dev/sdX count=1 seek=1 conv=notrunc bs=128k
dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/sdX count=2 seek=1 conv=notrunc bs=384k

So a 'vfat' partition is no longer needed.

So, only the location of MLO/u-boot.img changed, everything else is
relatively the same.
