System: NetBSD polaris 1.3.2 NetBSD 1.3.2 (POLARIS) #1: Fri Nov 6 07:41:34 MST 1998 root@:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/POLARIS i386

>Description:

Using the exact same disk, on my alpha and my sparc gives very different
results when disklabeling.  On my sparc, the label below works like a charm,
and uses as much of the zone recorded disk as possible. However when this
label is applied to the same disk, in an alpha, disklabel chokes with:

partition a extends past end of unit.
partition c extends past end of unit.

sparc SS1 running 1.3.2
Alpha 164LX running 1.3I

>How-To-Repeat:
make a disklabel in sparc, cut and paste to alpha, move disk, label.
	
>Fix:
Perhaps the sparc is doing something differently, to cope with sun disklabels?
