What is this?... Updating boot support partitions for the ..

I just used Disk Utility to Repair Disk.

It said that the volume appears to be OK.

But then it added,"Updating boot support partitions for the volume as
required."

I've never seen that before. What does it mean?

If i just do a Verify Disk, it says the disk appears to be OK but
doesn't add the bit about boot support partitions.

You take your drive and you partition it into ... perhaps two
partitions. But the System really includes another two areas for data
on the drive. One is the one where the partition information is stored
and how to access the drive (duh). The other is a partition used for
telling the computer how to boot from the drive. It's this second area
that that message is talking about. You can, with a lot of work, look
inside this partition and see what's on it, but it's not worth it:
you'll never have to worry about it.
