Art,
The freeldr changes I just checked in more or less formalize the concepts of

system volume/partition (containing \ReactOS). Most of the time, the boot
volume and system volume will be the same, but it's not required. The main
freeldr code no longer knows anything about partitions, this is handled in
the architecture-dependent functions now. The main code is given an opaque
drive number and the sector number at which a partition/slice/volume starts.
There are a number of new Mach functions:

Thanks GvG. This is exactly what I was hoping for to use in PPC freeldr.

Here's a simple experiment. Stand on a train track between two locomotives
which are pushing on you with equal force in opposite directions. You will
exhibit no net motion. None the less, you may soon begin to notice that
something important is happening.
