New Revision: 443

Modified:
   openbios-devel/modules/disk-label.c
Log:
Allows to use disk (like CD-ROM) without partition map but with filesystem
on the full disk. We accept partition number 0 (which identifies the full
disk) and partition number 1 (we can see the disk as only one partition).

This is needed to boot openSUSE install CD which uses
"&device;:1,\suseboot\yaboot.ibm" as its boot path.

There is a Mac partition map on the CD, but
partition 1 is the partition map itself, and thus is not usable by a filesystem.
So we can guess, openFirmware must use ISO9660 instead of HFS and thus
to not use the Mac partition map, but the whole CD for the partition #1.
