Boot block is really two blocks, 0 and 1. Those are the 'Reserved'
blocks alluded to in the Mountlist.
AmigaDOS does not support partition tables; the information is all
contained in the Mountlist - a different entry for each partition.
This is for the a2090, I know the Supra HD has partition tables,
but they are specific to the Supra drive.
