Only thing I noted is that it seems that you changed boot0 to always only 
write 512 bytes which means it will break trying to use boot0cfg to install 
boot0ext (which is 2 sectors).  Perhaps you should check the filesize of the 
boot you are writing and if it's > 512, write the other data with a write(2) 
after the g_ctl()?  Perhaps I don't see quite understand what your g_ctl() is 
doing though.
