Hello, < Guest836553> Hello I noticed that OpenBIOS' disk-label package doesn't allow raw disk access unless it has an apple partition map. In particular I noticed that only modules/mac-parts.c honours the specs (ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/1275/bindings/postscript/CHRP.ps, section 11.1.2), which state the partition number 0 indicates the whole disk. In pc-parts.c (MSDOS partition table format) partiton 0 is the first primary partiton (it should be partition 1, I suppose) and in sun-parts.c (I didn't try it) I don't see any special-handling code for partition 0, so I suppose it's affected by the bug too.
I asked reporting person to post mail to list, so at least after moderation it could reach ML. But mail don't appear so i am posting this now. best regards Maciej -- Maciej Pijanka, PLD-Linux Developer, Reg Linux user #133161 POE/Perl user -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
