[ros-dev] Partitions support in usetup

[Aleksey Bragin]

Hi,
I researched my partition problem (in my hardware setup, I have an  
IDE harddisk, which has 3 primary partitions, and I don't want to use  
the first partittion), and sharing my findings.

So far, kernel and drivers have all necessary support and the problem  
is in usetup directly. Right now, it stores information about  
partition tables in a linked list of PARTENTRY structures, and  
displays ONLY the information about the first out of 4 possible  
partititions in that entry.

I checked with Windows 2003 installation CD, it showed me all my  
partitions as they are, without limiting me anyhow. And certainly it  
allows installation on any of those partitions.

Anyone volunteers to fix this problem properly?

WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.
