The following reply was made to PR conf/963; it has been noted by GNATS. From: David Muir Sharnoff <muir@idiom.com> To: joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de (Joerg Wunsch) Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: conf/963: Using the whole disk can end unbootable Date: Tue, 23 Jan 1996 10:27:14 -0800 * Again: submit a better warning text, please, or i'll close the PR * since i fail to see how to `fix' the problem. Warning text isn't needed. Just don't ask me which boot selector to use. I didn't go seek it out. I wouldn't have specified if it hadn't of asked. (I did a "commit" to start the process going, so perhaps if I had written the partition information first it wouldn't have asked, but I still think there is a bug in there.) I would have been happy to use the whole disk, I just need it to boot! Actually, the system this disk ended up on has 3 2GB disks with nothing but FreeBSD partitions on them. * It also warns that it eats up the disk ``from the very first sector''. Or at this point, is should say "precluding any possible boot selector (not that you would need one anyway)" -Dave
