      Description

      This issue has been found by Tamlin. To replicate, on VBox 4.1.20, create a 512MB disk and install ROS on it. After restart, Freeldr will not show up and VM will hang using up CPU. Any larger disk, 513MB or bigger - will work fine.

      This bug was regress-tested to rev 56860. Rev 53878 is also concerned as between 53878 and 56860, ReactOS will not even boot to 1st stage if a HDD in question is present. Assigning to Timo.
