There have been many discussion threads on this, although I have not been following them all. Apparently the most detailed threads are going on in the freebsd-mobile mailing list.

So it is something more than just the partition id being 165. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
