What bit needs to be set in the partition table? I see a bunch of flag
definitions in the source (dpme.h), which one do you mean?
u32 dpme_flags;
#if 0
u32 dpme_reserved_2 : 23 ; /* Bit 9 through 31. */
u32 dpme_os_specific_1 : 1 ; /* Bit 8. */
u32 dpme_os_specific_2 : 1 ; /* Bit 7. */
u32 dpme_os_pic_code : 1 ; /* Bit 6. */
u32 dpme_writable : 1 ; /* Bit 5. */
u32 dpme_readable : 1 ; /* Bit 4. */
u32 dpme_bootable : 1 ; /* Bit 3. */
u32 dpme_in_use : 1 ; /* Bit 2. */
u32 dpme_allocated : 1 ; /* Bit 1. */
u32 dpme_valid : 1 ; /* Bit 0. */
#endif
Setting the appropriate bit by default on HFS partitions should not hurt
anyone, should it?
