not used partition ID 0x165 for many, many years, and the presence of this option in INSTALL kernels can cause overwriting of existing FreeBSD installations when sysinst writes back the disklabel. Those with very, very old NetBSD installations may find that they must update their fdisk partition tables to use partition ID 0x169 for their NetBSD partitions. This seems like the best of a number of lousy choices for dealing with this problem. Sysinst should perhaps grow code that asks whether an existing 0x165 partition should be converted. ~

|
i386, amd64: remove option COMPAT_386BSD_MBRPART from default

|
many years, and the presence of this option in INSTALL
|
|
kernels can cause overwriting of existing FreeBSD
|
|
installations when sysinst writes back the disklabel.
|
|
Those with very, very old NetBSD installations may find
|
|
that they must update their fdisk partition tables to use
|
|
partition ID 0x169 for their NetBSD partitions.
