Sounds very attractive.  But what I know about partition maps would fit in
a gnat's ear.  I know that they live at the physical beginning of a hard 
disk and are different in different disk driver systems (I learned that when
I tried to put a hard disk bootup program intended for use with AHDI on a
disk controlled by BMS software and blew away the partition information).
Would someone who knows several partitioning schemes please tell me about
them? (I'd guess enough people would be interested to justify posting answers)
