Hi,

A few days ago I fired up my UP2000+ Alpha and booted a recent
gentoo-alpha installer iso.
"install-alpha-minimal-20240328T170423Z.iso". Things seemed to work
fine, but I was unable to partition my drive. fdisk complained about
missing BSD* partitions. I remember reading something back in the days
about broken fdisk on gentoo-alpha installer so I took my old
install-alpha.minimal.iso from 2011. With this old installer CD I was
able to partition the disk and then continue the installation with the
recent mini installer from 2024. Has anyone here recent experience
from booting a current mini-install iso?

Regards
