I notice that the FreeBSD bootloader (boot0) explicitly prohibits booting from Extended DOS partitions (type 5). As far as I can see, an Extended DOS partition looks like a virtual disk - sector 0 contains a partition table explaining how that partition is broken up into secondary partitions. Given this, why can't it contain an MBR and allow booting? Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
