I don't think anybody else in the world refers to a partition table as
a boot-sector. A boot-sector, by definition, is used to boot an
operating system. With LILO and MS-DOS's fdisk, this is called the
Master Boot Record (MBR). VAXen call this a "boot-block", and even
paper-tape calls this a "boot-record".
