Re: [Gptfdisk-general] [PATCH 0/1] Add partition GUIDs for the Open Network Install Environment project

[Curt B. <cu...@cu...>]

Hi Rod -

To close on this topic.  The ONIE project documentation is now updated
and references the GUIDs for the partitions.  The relevant
documentation is here:

http://onie.github.io/onie/docs/design-spec/x86_boot_loader.html#initial-onie-install-embed

   Note: For GPT disk labels, the ONIE-BOOT partition type GUID is
   7412F7D5-A156-4B13-81DC-867174929325. This GUID is recognized by
   the gdisk and sgdisk utilities from the GPT fdisk package. See
   commit b784e0c95a11 for details.

Cheers,
Curt
