+         MyLoader is a bootloader which allows the user to define partitions
+         in flash devices, by putting a table in the second erase block
+         on the device, similar to a partition table. This table gives the 
+         offsets and lengths of the user defined partitions.
+
+         If you need code which can detect and parse these tables, and
+         register MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image detected,
+         enable this option.
+
+         You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
+         for your particular device. It won't happen automatically.
