Line 96

Line 94

<li>Ensured (W)hole disk partitioning cannot be used if an "APFS ISC" is found on the disk, required for Apple M1 machines to boot.

<li>Added initial arm64 support for installing on a disk with a GPT.

<li>Added arm64 support for booting from disks with 4k sectors.

<li>Relaxed criteria for recognizing GPT formatted media, allowing GPT disk images added with <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a> onto larger physical media to be recognized by <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a> and the kernel.
