Abstract
A plurality of partitions may be formed in a non-volatile re-programmable memory which may act as the primary non-volatile file system for a processor-based system. The memory may store, for example, the basic input/output system for the processor-based system together with its operating system. An address partition may include information about the location of the other partitions, in association with information about the type of information stored in each partition.
