Many thanks for the introduction to loader.bin.
I searched a bit, and it seems it may be regarded as a general-purpose boot sector. Is that really the case? If so, and if it is open source, then there is no need for us to waste effort on it anymore; just use it directly and that will be OK.
-----------------
Although mkb satisfies uniqueness, I feel the word make in it has a somewhat "redundant" flavor. In the three letters mkb, only the final b is actually useful (it is the head word), while the two letters mk are rather off-topic.
Among the names discussed so far, it seems to me that noe is more acceptable. The advantage of nbr is that it is very close to mbr, but n does not easily make one think of no emu, and instead easily makes one think of net, so this is a very unfortunate drawback.
noe avoids the above drawback, because when the three letters noe are placed together, people will not think of net, but will naturally think of "no emu."
Using the letter E for emu also has precedent. For example, the famous Windows emulator under Linux is called wine, and there is a similar Linux emulator under Windows called line. In them, the e all means emu.
The meaning of "no emu" is also used only in "CD booting"; this term is not used elsewhere. So "no emu" already implicitly contains the meaning of "CD," and also implicitly contains the meaning of "boot." Therefore, after using "no emu," we can save words like "cd" and "boot."
In noe, two of the letters are vowels, and they are adjacent, so even over a fairly long period in the future such a combination will not easily conflict with other names. Usually consonants are more commonly used in extensions.
One good man needs the help of three others; there really is strength in numbers. Please keep helping.
