[Klug-general] Setting Boot Flag

[Andrew Miller (Spode)]

I'm using BusyBox, so scripting for sh compatibility.

Thanks for steering me in the right direction here. Is there a way of 
putting the script into a variable and inputting that instead of having 
to use an interim file? As far as I can see fdisk < input.script will 
only work with a real file..
