#4028: Hybrid GPT/MBR Initial Program Loader ----------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: meianoite | Owner: axeld Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: File Systems | Version: R1/pre-alpha1 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 1 | Platform: All ----------------------------+--------------------------- Comment (by meianoite): Replying to [comment:17 bonefish]: > Why not adjust `anyboot`? There's no real reason for the tool to expect anything more than the boot code and it can easily be fixed. Because it is not broken. To assume a complete, valid MBR with no partitions set is not unreasonable IMHO. It even helps keeping the code simple since the input is always predictable. OTOH, the current boot loaders are indeed broken and in need of fixing. And in the same line of reasoning as above, `data_to_source` also doesn't need fixing, indeed, so I'll just write a Jam rule to use `dd` to extract the desired range instead. _That_ will probably be useful for many other situations. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/4028#comment:18> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
