Bug 42182

Summary:	formatting-media article: Making Dedicated Mode disks doc out of date
Product:	Documentation	Reporter:	Mark Stosberg <mark>
Component:	Books & Articles	Assignee:	Tom Rhodes <trhodes>
Status:	Closed FIXED
Severity:	Affects Only Me
Priority:	Normal
Version:	Latest
Hardware:	Any
OS:	Any

Description Mark Stosberg 2002-08-30 04:20:07 UTC

	The documentation for "Making Dedicated Mode Disks" needs to be
	updated to reflect a change in the software.

Fix: 

It appears that after pressing "A", you need to press "F",
	which I remember being barely documented somewhere as an
	"undocumented" feature.
How-To-Repeat: 	I was following the instructions for making a dedicated mode disk here:
	http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/formatting-media/x65.html

	I was not asked the question in step 6 after I followed the instructions in step 5,
	so I couldn't immediately proceed.

  Log:
  Rework sysinstall steps here, users are no longer asked about true
  partitions at this stage.  Tested only on i386 but the code seems to
  only ask in the i386 and amd64 cases.

A fix has been applied, adding information on the MBR 
modifications and removing the question not asked in 
step 6.  Thanks.
