WIC does this already for syslinux and grub bootloaders. 
I need more detailed info.

Reasigning to Igor to provide more details, or confirm that this is resolved.

It turned out that U-Boot doesn't support mbr mode, since it has a different method to support non-EFI x86 devices.

Closing this issue for now, I'll open a new one in case the method I mentioned requires support from wic.
