Looks good!


before:

16 partitions:

16 partitions:
#        size    offset     fstype  [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]

 d:      3753         0    unknown                      # (Cyl.    0 - 2)


What exactly is in that volume header on partition 'd'?
Can it be overwritten, or should that better not happen?
If not, maybe we should make 'd' be from sector 0 to the end,
and 'c' be from sector 3753 (is this a fixed number?) to then end?
That'd probably even more conforming with the i386 port then.
