The removal of the sparc64 support in February 2020 obsoleted the
VTOC8 partitioning scheme as no other FreeBSD platform makes use
of it. Moreover, the code is bitrotting as nothing defines e. g.
LOADER_VTOC8_SUPPORT any more and, thus, should go now, too. With
this change, the following commits are reverted as far as VTOC8
is concerned and parts haven't already previously been deleted
along with prior sparc64 removals:
094fcb157da7d366e958ba8d50d08b
The alignment example d9711c28ef
added to the VTOC8 section of gpart.8 is folded into the MBR one.
This should finally conclude the deorbit of sparc64-specific bits.
We had joy, we had fun
we ran Unix on a Sun.
But that source and the song
of FreeBSD have all gone.
