The address address@hidden bounced.

The desire arises for the booting operating system and for use of
the booted USB stick as general storage device with additional partitions.
A mountable partition stating at a non-zero block is what many pieces
of software expect.

I had problem reports about blkid and/or systemd attributing the disk label
of partition 1 to the base device. The booting operating system then
could not find the ISO. No problem if both disk labels are the same.

Any comments about my proposed MBR partition table layout are welcome.
(Andrei has a great record of pointing me to my mistakes.)


Have a nice day :)
