Thanks for the quick answer. As-is, the compile fails with
In file included from /src/current/sys/geom/geom_bsd.c:62:
/src/current/sys/sys/disklabel.h:174: size of array `__assert174' is negative
*** Error code 1
because of the compile time assert in disklabel.h,
#ifdef CTASSERT
CTASSERT(sizeof(struct disklabel) == 276);
#endif
Another question before I adjust this to make it work: how will this
interact with devfs? My ultimate goal is to mount NetBSD partitions
on FreeBSD, e.g. /dev/da4s2[ae-p] (preferably read-write). There is
more work needed in a bunch of other files, right? If yes, could this
be a candidate for the JKH list?
Regards,
Jens
