Apple iPod nanos have sector sizes of 2 or 4 KiB, which crashes U-Boot when it
tries to read the MBR into 512-byte buffer situated on stack. Instead use the
variable length arrays to be safe with any large sector size.

The same change is probably needed for disk/part_amiga.c but I'm not really
sure if Amiga supports USB... :-)

    Wolfgang, have you forgotten about this patch? Do I need to resend?

WBR, Sergei

    Damn, the FAT code is also hardwired for 512-byte sectors. I wonder which 
century we are in? :-)
