Thanks!

EDIT:
They finally updated the backcountry camping page on the NPS site:
Free permits are required for roadside camping along Greenwater Valley (Furnace Creek Wash) Road. With a permit, camping along this road is allowed in any area that follows all backcountry rules and regulations; there are no designated sites.”


Interestingly that link says that you can only get a permit from Furnace on the same day.  I thought they were doing it all through rec.gov now?
That is correct, in person, day of only, for free dispersed campsite permits. Since it is day of only you can then reserve the site for up to 14 days straight.   
 I asked about Greenwater and I think the answer I got was sites aren't numbered like in HITW and Echo so choose an already existing traditional spot.  Required for full length of road all the way to the Hwy on the south end.
At the visitor desk HITW and Echo have fancy 3 ring binders with folders (the folder holds your reservation when filled out) for each individual site, pictures of each site, and a map of the road.  My guess is Cottonwood has similar; but no 3 ring binder for Greenwater.
