Subject: Allow fdisk(8) to add GPT partitions of protected types.
X-Git-Url: http://artulab.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=01a159e4e48da4a3ea85f84e5cb86a1b3dddaa32;p=openbsd

Allow fdisk(8) to add GPT partitions of protected types.

This makes it possible to provision virtual machine images that
need a "BIOS Boot" partition.

Report, original diff and testing by Christian Ludwig. Thanks!
