Re: [PATCH] fix /boot/loader for extended slices

:maybe we should shape up that scanner code so that it can be used in variou=

    Well, for now I just want to make it work properly.  While there are
    certainly advantages to avoid code duplication it is also sometimes
    a complication.

    So what we need is some serious testing, e.g. like creating multiple
    extended dos partitions two recursions deep and seeing if the partition
    data is properly passed between the loader and kernel.
