My manuals aren't up to date (because I haven't ordered the new GVP boot-roms yet). What needs to be done? Can I just add some value to the "Reserved=" line or do I have to start the first partition after a certain number of blocks? Is this "certain number of blocks" different for different brands of controllers?
