Subject: [9fans] GPT partitions
Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 09:41:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51796934.ZNMK5gL6qF@krypton> (raw)
Dear all,
I am interested in moving from running Plan9 in a VM to (try to) running on
bare metal but since I am on a laptop with a single HDD and I play around with
a couple of different things, I need to use GPT instead of MBR to avoid the
silly 4 partition limit (since Plan9 can not be on an extended partition).
Does any of the Plan9 variants support booting from a GPT partition nowadays?
I have not experimented with EFI boot yet on my primary OS but as far as I
have read, this could also avoid chainloading bootloaders - any experience
with this?
I am also interested in the 64-bit HDD image from 9atom, but was never able to
load that one with syslinux - so if anyone got any tips and tricks there that
would also be cool.
