IMHO it is a better solution than non-standard partitioning.  Actually I 
think the region past the first sector (512 bytes) is unused, if I am 
reading http://www.ata-atapi.com/hiwtab.htm correctly.

One should also point out that this overlaps into partition 1, if that 
is not obvious, so partition 1 should be large enough and unused.
