Presumably you mean sector offset 16 (ie, 8K from the beginning of the
pack)?  If so, then I'm quite sure that's not where SunOS keeps its
label, because the filesystem superblock lives there.

And in fact inspecting the beginning of a SunOS disk pack, I do find,
at sector 0, a structure laid put per <sun/dklabel.h>.
