If you could do something like
(dd if=mtboot sync bs=512 |+ dd if=mtboot sync bs=512 |+ dd if=boot sync bs=512) | dd
of=/dev/whatever obs=512
in order to concatenate the multiple copies of mtboot then all would be well.
How about:
(
dd if=mtboot conv=sync bs=512
dd if=mtboot conv=sync bs=512
dd if=boot conv=sync bs=512
) |dd of=/dev/whatever bs=512

Quote Of The Moment:
It has been said very justly that every virtue is, as it were, a
middle course between two opposite vices. Thus, courage is midway
between cowardice and rashness; thrift is midway between
acquisitiveness and improvidence; morality is midway between prudery
and licentiousness; and so forth. In like manner, justification stands
half-way between the faults of pedantry, on the one hand, and the
failures of ignorance, on the other.
