I thought about that. Having both GEOM_PART_MBR and GEOM_MBR
seemed suspicious, but GEOM_PART_MBR isn't from the config file:
grep -i geom GENERIC
options GEOM_PART_GPT # GUID Partition Tables.
options GEOM_LABEL # Provides labelization
and then I added GEOM_MBR and GEOM_BSD as suggested. So I don't
know where GEOM_PART_MBR comes from or how to get rid of it.
I am assuming that "make buildkernel" calls config(8) and config
builds opt_geom.h based on the config file, but it must have some
other input that I haven't found.
It isn't clear to me what the difference between GEOM_PART_MBR and
GEOM_MBR is supposed to be (same for GEOM_PART_BSD and GEOM_BSD).
conf/NOTES doesn't list a GEOM_GPT, only GEOM_PART_GPT. I assume
that removing GEOM_PART_GPT would break disks using GUID partition
tables.
