Hi. I notice that the FDISK Partition Editor in sysinstall displays rather strange values for the partition types. For example, on a running -CURRENT (cvsupped last friday): Offset Size(ST) End Name PType Desc Subtype Flags 0 63 62 - 12 unused 0 63 78124032 78124094 ad0s1 4 unknown 0 78124095 905 78124999 - 12 unused 0 On my home machine a fresh install displayed the ad0s1 as "XENIX /usr" (subtype 3). What? :) I notice that fdisk displays the partition type ok. Here is the output from 'sysctl -b kern.geom.conftxt' 0 DISK ad0 40000000000 512 hd 16 sc 63 1 MBR ad0s1 39999504384 512 i 0 o 32256 2 BSD ad0s1f 38141648896 512 i 5 o 1857855488 2 BSD ad0s1e 268435456 512 i 4 o 1589420032 2 BSD ad0s1d 268435456 512 i 3 o 1320984576 2 BSD ad0s1c 39999504384 512 i 2 o 0 2 BSD ad0s1b 1052549120 512 i 1 o 268435456 2 BSD ad0s1a 268435456 512 i 0 o 0 Shouldn't there be a 'ty' entry for the MBR so that libdisk can populate the subtype member properly?
