It looks to me that the EFI GUID Partition Table (GPT) can be dealt with almost trivially with Geom. This would be a good thing for the ia64 port and upcoming EFI based ia32 systems (if any). BTW, the documented discovery order under EFI is 1) GPT, 2) ISO-9660 and 3) Legacy MBR. This would imply that self-discovery as you suggest for MBR and BSD would have some constraints, whether it's one we hardcode or provide through a more dynamic mechanism. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
