od -x of partition table
/dev/sda (also sda1) from beginning to start of where sda1 should begin (od -x
output). I assume that covers the MBR and partition table.
This is a consequence of enabling CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION_CUMANA: a 1 in 256 probability of getting any random partition recognized as CUMANA/ADFS. Solution: do not enable CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION_CUMANA. |
