I'm not sure if the following is a coincidence (because it never worked before, even without GEOM) or is due to GEOM issues. My -current is from Oct 12 and the kernel derived from GENERIC, plus/minus devices/options to match my hardware. NetBSD uses sysid 169 for their slice and a new style disklabel with 16 partitions. FreeBSD is unable to deal with that disklabel, it seems. # fdisk da4 ... The data for partition 2 is: sysid 169 (0xa9),(NetBSD) start 39841200, size 16771860 (8189 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 1022/ head 254/ sector 63; end: cyl 1022/ head 254/ sector 63 # disklabel da4s2 disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument Am I trying something that is not supported? If yes, are there any plans to support our brother BSD's disklabels?
