This URL seems to have everything (or at least a start place for
everything). I particularly liked the opening line,
"PLEASE READ THIS: This following information is only the most basic of
the basics. The most important thing to remember about partition tables

attempts to keep up with all the silly and stupid things that OS
developers are doing in partition tables."
