>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.6-beta i386
>Environment:

	New install of FreeBSD 2.2.6 beta on compaq deskpro 

>Description:

	FreeBSD disk allocation (fdisk replacement) should understand
	additional disk types.  This make editing a complicate disk
	more user friendly and less mistake prone.

	Two disks on my Compaq are:

		Decimal 18 (x'12') Compaq Diagnostic Partition
		Decinal 115 (x'73') SCO UnixWare

	 OS/2 Boot manager would be another common type if not
	 already defined, please send me mail (ahd@kew.com and I'll
	 look it up on another system).

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install with multiple other partitions defined.

>Fix:
	
	Add specified types and descriptions to install boot editor.
