First fix already:

The last few lines in setboot.asm contain messages wich are output by
the program and I didn't translate to English. Please do so. They read:

    'Boot da particao (A-D): '
    'Erro na carga do sistema operacional'
    'Particao Sem sistema operacional'

when they should be, respectively:

    'Boot from partition (A-D): '
    'Error loading operating system'
    'No operating system to load'

Since the program really expects a password, the first one could even be:

    'Boot password: '

... or something like that. But keep in mind that all this code must fit
in the first few (0x1BE) bytes of the boot record. So, keep these messages
small enough.

Since these changes are so small, I won't post a fix to them.
Have fun.
