Hello,

The access  to partitions on disks with an Amiga partition table (via 
the Rigid Disk Block RDB) doesn't work anymore on my Cyrus+ board with a 
FSL P50x0 PowerPC SoC [1] and on my P.A. Semi Nemo board [2] after the 
block updates 2023-06-23 [3].

parted -l

Disk /dev/sda: 2000GB

I created a patch for reverting the commit. [4]

The access works again with this patch:
