Add support for gpart:

o Correct for gpart's 1-based index, versus 0-based index used by legacy slicers. o Parse and understand the xs and xt parameters.

On PowerPC, geom_part has taken over the partitioning from geom_apple.

Translate partitions of type "PART" to chunks of type "apple" on PowerPC. This fixes sysinstall. Approved by: re (kensmith)

Improve error handling in libdisk while parsing the kern.geom.conftxt sysctl.

2007-08-05T16:55:40Z

Previously, any parse error will result in the calling program exiting with an unpleasant message. This change will cause libdisk to issue a warning and ignore lines it cannot parse instead of bluntly terminating the unfortunate enough program. This change will allow you to use sysinstall if you have a NTFS parition with a space in the name (such as 'Win Xp'). In such a case, a line like the following will appear in the kern.geom.conftxt output: 2 LABEL ntfs/Win Xp 209818635264 512 i 0 o 0 As the fields are space-separated, libdisk would go beserk and exit the program. This would happen if using FreeBSD 7.0 snapshot images (as GEOM_LABEL is in the installation kernel as well), thus making it impossible to install FreeBSD without renaming your NTFS paritions.

Don't barf when we encounter an UUID for GPT partitions. Instead, add

the GPT partition on i386 and adm64 as type=gpt, subtype=0 and with the sname set to the UUID. This prevents sysinstall from bombing out. This also makes sure the GPT partition shows up in sysinstall so as to avoid accidental "clobberage". PR: bin/72896
