https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D276517 --- Comment #2 from Don Yuniskis <dgy@engineer.com> --- (In reply to Ed Maste from comment #1) Note my actions are the result of NOT being able to get the installer to "do what I wanted". Drop to shell. Invoke disklabel(8) from command line. s/8 partitions/10 partitions/ Append "i: blah blah 4.2BSD blah blah" Exit (note result returning to bsdinstall) Reinvoke disklabel from CLI. Append "j: blah blah 4.2BSD blah blah" Exit (note result returning to bsdinstall) >From shell, invoke disklabel. Remove all but first 8 partitions. Exit Let installer try to use label. 'h' complains of bad type. I am aware of the special significance of the 'c' partition (In NetBSD, 'b', c' and 'd' have had similar treatment over the years) I was NOT aware of the 8 partition limit (I have 16 partitions on that disk with the machine now running NetBSD). This appears to be a limitation of FreeBSD's disklabel, not "BSD". As such, you should just verify the '8' limit is enforced properly even if s/8/10/. I.e., I would have expected a complaint when I altered the "8" and the 'i' line to have been elided. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
