 The Partition_Table referred to is in
 
/nfsroot-x86/bto-sync/production/<release_spec>/installer/release_spec.<product>

 For example, on RaQ 4r, it's

 /nfsroot-x86/bto-sync/production/3100R_1.155/installer/release_spec.3100R

 The relevant bit of the file looks like:

 # This is the partition table for the product
 %begin Partition_Table
 0,750,83              ### change this to  0,3000,83
 ,158,5
 ,200,83              ### change this to  0,1500,83
 ,,83
 ,30,83
 ,,82
 %end Partition_Table
