Yup, it is. I was implying that by just adding the missing stuff,
since there are a few Apple II utilities that did not bother writing
the complete boot block set to the disks, if you did a disk copy, from
a /// bootable disk and then just worked with it, you'd never
encounter an issue. However, if you created a new disk and put all the
correct items on said disk.. and it still didn't work- why, then, the
rest is missing.

In short, though it's probably best to copy over the first four
blocks, that way you are ensured that continuity.

is not the bootstrap we are looking for.. read the next block"..
