This breaks (via libdisk) the FDISK partition editor in sysinstall. See also http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=500285+0+current/freebsd-current >How-To-Repeat: Type sysctl -b kern.geom.dumptxt The ouput contains lines like the following: 1 MBR ad0s1 39999504384 512 i 0 o 32256 The line above should have a ' ty ' entry appended. >Fix: The breakage occurred after phk's 'Use default method initialization on geoms' commit, dated 2004-08-08 06:49:07 UTC. I guess some parts of this commit should be reverted. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
