Hello I just committed the code to add GPT and RAIDframe support to x86 bootstrap.
Both BIOS and EFI bootstraps can now use devices with the NAME=gpt_label and raidNx syntaxes. Here are exemples: boot NAME=root:/netbsd boot raid0e:/netbsd This is available in all commands (boot, multiboot, dev, ls...) and in boot.cfg as well. This brings two major benefits: - it is now possible to write boot.cfg files with disk names that do not change when disks are added/removed - we can now boot from RAID 1 that contain a GPT table. I tested different partitionning schemes, both with BIOS and EFI bootstraps, but as always it is possible that I missed corner cases. Please be careful when updating bootstraps after this change, and report any problem you encouter. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz [email protected]
