Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG In the FDISK-like menu of /stand/sysinstall, the PType (partition type) column is given values like 1,2,3,4,6. While the subtype field is well-defined (e.g., 0xa5 = freebsd), I can not find where the partition type is explained. I also tried PCguide in vain. Can somebody explain this to me? Is it useful or some obsolete feature? Thanks. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
