You might also need to modify the FS code to know where to look for a 2nd
partition, else it'd go looking at 61M and find no valid partition
information there. If you set the partition size to 35M on a disk with
60M ones, it will find the first one correctly (and as far as I can tell
it'll work fine) but won't find any others.
