It may seem highly unusual that *I* am sending people to the web for documentation. However, there is a reason in this particular case. > It must be documented somewhere, No, there is no need to. 1) It is in no way related to OpenBSD. So why should OpenBSD document it? All that is relevant to OpenBSD is A6, and that is documented in fdisk(8), where it belongs. 2) We do want our documentation to be correct and complete, but we also want it to be concise, so we don't include irrelevant information. 3) OpenBSD does support multibooting, though we clearly discourage it for most use cases. So you may have a need to know another partition type ID. But that's a property of your *other* system, so you should look it up in the documentation of your other system. > but I can't find it neither in the > "disklabel" tool itself, nor in its man pages. It has nothing to do with disklabel(8), it's a property of the machine-dependent so called "master boot record". > In disklabel's "a" command, I guess you are talking about fdisk(8) -e. > typing "?" is interpreted as invalid input, and > typing "help" is interpreted as choosing the fs type "unknown". I don't know which version of OpenBSD or which snapshot you are using, and right now, i don't have the time or hardware to figure out whether there was or is a bug of that kind. Maybe someone else can answer this part. Yours, Ingo
