Bug #9097
closedECL can't locate config.xml unless device is MBR-partitioned
100%
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.

- Category changed from Installer to Backup / Restore
Changing category, ECL is in base, not the installer, so it doesn't need changes to the ISO to test. You can leave the thumb drive plugged in on any boot to obtain a new config via ECL.

Tested on :
2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
built on Mon Sep 07 19:04:05 EDT 2020
FreeBSD 12.2-PRERELEASE
I was able to restore the config stored in /config.xml on an USB stick formatted using GUID Partition Map/MS-DOS (FAT) format.
Ticket resolved.
