Can someone explain the different bootloader pros and cons?

Guru, that brings a question, then. My understanding (please tell me) is that the bootloader versions on the Apache are similar to partitions on a hard disk, and that HTC in their later phones (bootloader 2+) reduced the size of the ROM patition to make room for more user programs and files.

So it is not possible to overfill a 1.00 bootloader phone ROM partition??? (at least up to the maximum flash mem installed)? What are the numbers for 1.00, 1.02, 2+, etc and are there other differences besides the size of the ROM partition?

I would like to look at my partition(s). Is there software (PPC partition magic, qparted, etc) which does this non-destructively? I am aware of mTTY, butI have not had any reason to use it, can it look at the partition structure w/o making changes?

Or is my partition analogy bunk?

Thanks again!!
