pass `root=` as `mlbinstall` will not calculate the root device. Currently

- `[-vbr]` will make `mlbinstall` ignore the space for the partition table,
giving you more space for the command line. You can safely use it if you're
installing to a Volume Boot Record (partition) and not the Master Boot
Record, e.g. for using with another bootloader in multi-OS setups.

`mlbinstall` is quite noisy if it detects any problems. Restore your MBR from
backup, fix the problems, and try again. If it succeeds, it won't say anything.
