I'd like to align things to 4 Kb boundaries on my NetBSD installs, but it is not clear to me how to achieve that.
If I use the install-time partitioning tool and use the default MB sizes, things certainly seem to become poorly aligned; at least the start sector numbers are not divisible by 8 (the 8 here comes from 4096 / 512). Having the / partition at sector 63 starts off badly... I could partition using sector numbers of course. Then comes the problem what "end" means. If I ask for start sector s and a size of b sectors, the end is computed as s + b by the program. Shouldn't it be s + b - 1? I don't desire to have overlapping partitions! -- Torbjörn Please encrypt, key id 0xC8601622
