Re: [OpenBIOS] [PATCH 2/10] Ignore extraneous partitions

[Natalia Portillo]

One detail William.

Documentation clearly state that drivers, even if present on the partition map, ARE NOT PARTITIONS.
(I.M. Vol. 2, and a document I've forgot the name that describes the boot process extensively, present on Apple Support archives -even describes how Rhapsody boots-)

Have you checked the count does not include _FREE and _VOID in BootX?
