New Revision: 195817
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/195817
Log:
Remove the "dedicated disk mode" partitioning option from sysinstall, in
both the disk partitioning screen (the 'F' key) and via install.cfg (the
VAR_DEDICATED_DISK option). This functionality is currently broken in 8.x
due to libdisk and geom generating different partition names; this commit
merely acts to help steer users away from the breakage.
