Now I'm in NetBSD-current (6.99.44), X won't start but I have Internet
connection. There is no working cut-and-paste by mouse as I have in FreeBSD.
So I can't update References or quote for context in a reasonable way.
Advantage of Rod Smith's gdisk is that it's general-purpose rather than
OS-specific. Rod Smith's gdisk can be built for Linux, FreeBSD and MS-Windows
as far as I know, but it can't format a partition. I can create a Haiku BFS
partition as type eb00. It really needs to run where the drive being
partitioned has no mounted partitions.
I have FreeBSD version on Kingston Data Traveler USB 3.0. System Rescue CD
(sysresccd.org) inckudes Linux version of gdisk as well as gparted.
To boot a Haiku partition with grub, I assume you use grub2 and chainloader on
partition to be booted, for instance
insmod chain
chainloader (hd1,gpt15)+1
boot
or whatever is the actual partition number.
Or maybe, first,
set root=(hd1,gpt15) in my example?
