BTW, ...
I had a problem with pre 2.2.12 boot floppies, everything worked fine, i was
testing it in the evening, and the next day my computer refused to boot. All
stuff indicates that the RDB was hoosed by the boot floppies, and because of
that i am no longer able to boot from my (only one) scsi disk, and thus do
further testing/whatever.
But then i am not sure if this was because of my harddisk dying or because of
libfdisk/amiga-fdisk.
The symptoms where that the view partition table showed only the first 3
partitions of my 7 or so partitions (btw, the 3rd partition was the one i
mounted / on to test installation).
Would you please fully test this on amiga, to make sure nobody gets back at us
when this happens once potato is released.
If you prefer i could make it a bug report, but as said, i am not sure it is
not my harddisk dying ....
Fri'endly,
