Author: cperciva Date: Wed Jul 22 03:50:54 2009 New Revision: 195817 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/195817 Log: Remove the "dedicated disk mode" partitioning option from sysinstall, in both the disk partitioning screen (the 'F' key) and via install.cfg (the VAR_DEDICATED_DISK option). This functionality is currently broken in 8.x due to libdisk and geom generating different partition names; this commit merely acts to help steer users away from the breakage.
