Description HASEGAWA Tomoki 2001-02-11 05:00:01 UTC 
/boot/loader cannot handle extended dos partitions in ide disks (except
slice 5(eg disk0s5)).
I cannot boot with root partition /dev/ad0s9a.


devices in FreeBSD      corresponding disk name in /boot/loader
/dev/ad0s5           -> disk0s5
/dev/ad0s6           -> disk0s7
/dev/ad0s7 or higher -> cannot handle

Fix: I referred to sys/kern/subr_diskmbr.c and revised
sys/boot/i386/libi386/biosdisk.c. The patch is following.
How-To-Repeat: make extended dos partitions and use 'lsdev' command in the /boot/loader
command line.

Had this been resolved already? 

There is a similiar problem in PR i386/39536 (that one is 
waiting for a patch, which might be included here).
