#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:21 axeld]: > Oh well, I forgot you like to write so wordy :-) =P > Don't exaggerate. The only thing ever in question was anyboot. You believe it wouldn't hurt if it took just the IPL and reconstructed the rest of what makes an MBR, I believe it's valid for it to expect a full MBR minus partition table and just patch what it needs to. Let's just say we have a difference regarding the scope of `anyboot`, and leave it at that. > FWIW, you managed to convince me. Not so much in the anyboot case, but in the more general solution thing. Unfortunately, you still haven't provided a patch ;-) As mentioned on comment:15, I'll have to find another machine I can code on. Actually, it just occurred to me that I could boot via a flash drive and use an external drive to hold the source (as I'll have to test it first, of course). That should work. I should have something ready by tomorrow. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/4028#comment:22> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
