After unsuccessfully trying to change my partition IDs from 0xA5 to 0xA9,
I had to use pfdisk to copy the (DOS/MBR) partition table(1) from my sd1
to my sd2. After that I get a warning that there's a double match for the
boot device:
sd0: no disk label
WARNING: old BSD partition ID!
WARNING: old BSD partition ID!
warning: double match for boot device (sd1, sd2)
boot device: sd1
root on sd1a dumps on sd1b
This was no problem before I copied the partition table with pfdisk. I do
use Windows NT's bootloader with special bootblocks who know that there's
a sd1 and a sd2, both with root and swap on them, which do work fine: they
indicate they're booting sd1:netbsd or sd2:netbsd, but the kernel then
brings that warning and always choses sd1 to use for the root filesystem,
even if I want it to use sd2a.
Does anyone know what's to set to get rid of this behaviour?
TIA,
Hubert
(1) What I did was:
pfdisk 1
w foo
q
pfdisk 2
r foo
w
