Using partitions on DOC2000 (nftl)

[Jan Vestby]

The new diskonchip code can handle one additional partition beyond the
formatted part.
I have only been able to use this by invoking the dformat /SIZE option in
the 
4.2 version of the DOS utilities. Howvever, this option is rather brutal: 
bad block table entries beyond the new "size" is silently dropped.

Formatting the DOC with the /USE percentage option preserves the bbt data.
The resulting smaller size shows up in nftl media header entry
FormattedSize.

Is there any problems with using this parameter to perform the partioning, 
or have I overlooked something ?
