Package: kfreebsd-image-8.1-1-amd64
Version: 8.1-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
kFreeBSD usually spits a bunch of messages about partitions
not starting/ending on track boundary during boot:
GEOM: da0: partition 2 does not start on a track boundary.
GEOM: da0: partition 2 does not end on a track boundary.
GEOM: da0: partition 1 does not start on a track boundary.
GEOM: da0: partition 1 does not end on a track boundary.
These messages are a remnant of the past, as track alignment
is currently meaningless to the disk (hard disks manage
their geometry internally, and new devices such as flash/SD
don't even have tracks).
Here's a patch to remove them.
