*not* the ones that Rufus processes when writing the actual MBR (first 512 bytes).

is what Rufus uses. If you have modified this file, and the MBR section is
altered, be mindful that you also need to update the array in mbr_grub.h.

boot.img and core.img were compiled from git://git.savannah.gnu.org/grub.git,
commit 72ec399ad8d6348b6c74ea63d80c79784c8b84ae, on a Debian 7.7.0 x64 system.
This was done following the guide from:
http://pete.akeo.ie/2014/05/compiling-and-installing-grub2-for.html.
This directory contains the Grub 2.0 boot records that are used by Rufus
boot.img has been modified to nop the jump @ 0x66 as per grub2's setup.c comments:
* boot.img was compiled from git://git.savannah.gnu.org/grub.git at commit:
72ec399ad8d6348b6c74ea63d80c79784c8b84ae.
/* If DEST_DRIVE is a hard disk, enable the workaround, which is
for buggy BIOSes which don't pass boot drive correctly. Instead,
they pass 0x00 or 0x01 even when booted from 0x80. */

* core.img was compiled from grub 2.00-22 using the tarballs found at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/2.00-22.
The use of the 2.00-22 source is done for compatibility reasons.
