Has anyone read in full the GOVERHD documentation?

Parsing it through Google it seems to imply that devices up to around 16GB should work, as long as they have partition information entirely before 1024MB. There's also this page:

http://www.dcn.ne.jp/~plastic/X68000/X68000_SCSI_Bridge.htm

.. which lists testing of solid state devices (SD, CF and SATA SSD's) of way over the usual 1/2GB size alongside GOVERHD and Human68k boot/data access tests (playing a file located on the large partition). There are a lot of results on that page which state "allows boot drive of up to 16GB", though not every combination of device and interface seems to work.

Has anyone tested any of those combinations? 16GB is a heck of a lot more than 2x 1GB partitions we seem to be using right now.

i managed it to add a 2nd partition but being not a specialist.
Other way, 2 Devices in scsi2sd.
