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.
