This sounds very strange as Haiku, unlike BeOS, publishes those entries
always. Do you have nested partitions (called extended partitions in
the MBR lingo)? If the entries are really missing, could you open a bug
report for this, and attach your partition tables to it (also the
extended ones with the block number they were read from)?
OTOH "fat" is called "dos" in Haiku, just to avoid any confusion; maybe
we should rename it seeing that FAT is still used (and somewhat known),
while MS-DOS is slowly fading out of the minds.
Bye,
Axel.
