As I read from here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-src/2007-December/084949.html This change actually does not do anything, because kernel still operate with 8 partitions. ==> sys/sys/disklabel.h MAXPARTITIONS 8 I have some trivial patches, but there appears to be problem with compatibility with old partitions table. (new kernel will not boot root partition with old world, but inside qemu, with installation of new world and new kernel at once, booting works fine - except that there are to many /dev/ads1* entries - false positives) But on newly created partitions with bsdlabel inside qemu there is of course no false positives (there are correct numbers of partitions).
