http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/distrib/utils/sysinst/Attic/disks.c#rev1.98 http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/distrib/utils/sysinst/arch/arc/Attic/md.c#rev1.29 IIRC I added it to avoid users from accidentally destroy existing native Windows partition (for NetBSD/arc that initially required FAT partition). --- Izumi Tsutsui
