Tools like fsck(8) require a disklabel to figure out the partition type. GPT based system do not necessarily have disklabels. I haven't paid much or any attention to the GEOM related changes yet, because there's no point to draw attention away from the level 1 platforms. But the state on (at least my) ia64 is that it's pure GPT, booting fine and sorely in need of having sysinstall and fsck(8) working :-) JFYI, -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
