It's not in the same place on the disk:

i386/include/disklabel.h:#define        LABELSECTOR             1       /* sector containing label */
i386/include/disklabel.h:#define        LABELOFFSET             0       /* offset of label in sector */
macppc/include/disklabel.h:#define      LABELSECTOR     0               /* sector containing label */
macppc/include/disklabel.h:#define      LABELOFFSET     64              /* offset of label in sector */

I've found I've always needed to re-do the disklabel when I've moved
disks between architectures.  If there's a better way, I'm all ears :-)
