This apparently lets the MBR partition overlap with the MBR itself, putting the disklabel on the sector following the MBR. I know "DD" is probably looked upon in the sense of "if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces", but if anyone knows a good hack to make it work with this new scheme... :)Received on Thu Jan 15 2009 - 13:15:21 UTC
