If what he is saying is what I think he is saying.. it goes like this (I'm picking A penta-minor and penta-major to make it easier):

A pentatonic minor:
||----------------------------5-8----|
||------------------------5-8--------|
||-------------------5-7-------------|
||--------------5-7------------------|
||---------5-7-----------------------|
||----5-8----------------------------|


A pentatonic major:
||----------------------------2-5----|
||------------------------2-5--------|
||-------------------2-4-------------|
||--------------2-4------------------|
||---------2-4-----------------------|
||----5------------------------------|

It's the same shape.. but you are starting on the second interval of the shape.. just remember though that you have to start with an A for it to be a scale based on A.

The example you had is...

F pentatonic minor:
||----------------------------1-4----|
||------------------------1-4--------|
||-------------------1-3-------------|
||--------------1-3------------------|
||---------1-3-----------------------|
||----1-4----------------------------|

G# pentatonic major:
||---------------------------1-4-----|
||----------------------1-4----------|
||------------------1-3--------------|
||-------------1-3-------------------|
||--------1-3------------------------|
||------4----------------------------|

At least this is what I think is correct.. I never really learnt what a pentatonic major scale was.. I've never needed it or used it.. :)
