I just finished rebuilding a new kernel from yesterday morning's -current
and there seems to be a problem or two:
1. The recent changes to the disklabel processing code have indeed gotten
rid of the MacOS driver partition (used to show up as sd#d). But
now there are no entries shown for the "h" partition, even though I've
got several MacOS partitions following all of my NetBSD partitions.
2. Even though I can run disklabel against both of my drives, the system
locks up solid whenever I try to mount a partition from my non-root
disk. I'd love to provide a traceback, but not even the Interrupt
button works, so I can't get into the debugger.
In order to bypass the possible changes resulting from the renumbering
of the partitions, I've specified both the device and mount-point in
my mount commands, and I've tried all three of the NetBSD partitions
(a=/altroot, f = /usr, and g = /amanda/work) with the same results.
Any ideas on what to try next? :)
