Description

Follow-on to #9089, but this one needs to be fixed in code, IMHO:

  • GPT devices show up as da1p1, not da1s1, so can't be used for ECL

(FYI: macOS's Disk Utility now formats devices as GPT by default, not MBR. Yay.)

The fix appears to be trivial, although I lack the skills and infrastructure to build - and thus test - this fix (sorry). I'd be happy to test a fresh spin of the install ISO, though, if you provide a URL.

I'm not too sure about git-diff's output here, but you can see the gist of the 1-line change regardless.
