So this discussion wandered off topic a bit. Of course NetBSD already supports gpt and there is no plan to change (legacy) disklabels. Actually the whole original issue was triggered by my changes to the installer being too strict with disklabels on legacy devices on certain machines, where it now would reject a native disk and instead ask for the prefered partitioning scheme - which is not a good idea when performing an update. I have a good solution for that in userland now w/o any kernel support required. Martin
