Hi Wade,
A specific partition scheme might have limits, but
there is no system
limit and has never been. The BSD disklabel is just
another partition
style in this big picture. The system has no
dependence on a specific
partition style, architecturally.
Not only that, but there's only 1 partition style Open Firmware (that I've seen) can boot, which is Apple's. And that uses 1 block per partition in the map, with a 4 byte count of partitions, instead of 1 block for the whole map. So unless the user is really trying to screw you up, there's really no limit. - Potatoswatter Yahoo!
