|  For all these packages, data starts at offset 0x4000 and is not console-unique. This is installed from "package2" in firmware package A (0100000000000819) by default. With the exFAT update installed, this is switched to firmware package C (010000000000081B). The data stored here matches the raw /nx/package2 file stored in the 81[9AB] data archives -- there is no additional encryption. "BCPKG2" is "BootConfigAndPackage2": for example, from [[Factory_Setup|SystemInitializer]]: "BootConfigAndPackage2Part1".

With the exFAT update installed, the [[Package2|package2]] image is switched to the one from [[Title_list#System_Data_Archives|Title 010000000000081B]]. The official name for this partition is "BootConfigAndPackage2Part1".
