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...
