Hello all. I've got some questions related to freebsd bootstrapping process. I've got hdd with zoo of different OSes, and partition table looks quite weird.... Finally, I've installed fbsd on the last partition and bumped into a wall: boot1 can't load it from such a place, since it analyzes partition table kept in MBR (hence only first 4 partitions can be analyzed).... Is there any suggestions on hacking boot1 code to support recursion into extended partions? And also, hacking fdisk code (well, I wrote small utility which dumps whole partition table to screen, but fdisk.c looks rather wierd..? Sinceherely yours, Artem 'Zazoobr' Ignatjev.
