[comp.os.minix] Need information on atari hard-disk partition table

Hi

I've recently ported Minix ST-1.1 to my homebrew box. I'm now looking at rewriting
my ROMS so that it can boot from Atari format floppies. I'd also like to
put code in to boot from winny. At the moment I have a winny with a single 40Mb
partition. I'd like to be able to partition up my winny, and it seems like a good
idea to keep it the same as the atari. Does anyone know where the partition table
lives on the atari disk and what its format is. Any other information you have about the atari boot sector would be gratefully received. 

Many thanks

-Bob
