BEER and PARTIES sound familiar?
      Welcome to fiesta.

+----------------- fiesta ----------------------+
|      Version 1.0.0 - initial release.         |
+-----------------------------------------------+

If you have a HPA area on device [dev]
and fiesta reports something like this:

$ fiesta -f [dev]
Error: Hidden Protected Area signature not found on [dev]
$

and you know that HPA is accessible, you can try this
to force fiesta to continue regardless
(you should then get something similar to this):

$ fiesta -f [dev] -F
Error: Hidden Protected Area signature not found on [dev]
Warning: continuing anyway

I will appreciate if you submit your HPA header (using the email address below) 
so I can include your BEER signature in next release of fiesta to suppress
such behaviour.
The line below shows how to save the header to file [file]:

$ fiesta -f [dev] -S [file]

Along with the header, please provide information about your machine model.
(manufacturer and model, for example, IBM ThinkPad T41)

Thanks for your help.
