Hi,

Yes, that's crap... However, what about the following partition table
format:

<size>\0<part1>\n<part2>\n<part...>\n<partn>\0

Size represents the complete size of the partition table. partx defines
the partitions that we have, part1 starts at
                (size % BLOCK_SIZE ?
                 drive_start+(size/BLOCK_SIZE) :
                 drive_start+(SIZE/BLOCK_SIZE)+1)

String encoding is possible, not a requirement...
