Dear NetBSD/alpha:

I'd like to temporarily mount two disks that were used in an Alpha 3000/400
running DEC OS/F 1 V2.0 240 (so I guess their partitions are of type ufs?)
in a machine running NetBSD 1.5, but haven't been able to because they have
no disklabels.

This is part of the output from demsg:

sd0 at scsibus0 target 2 lun 0: <DEC, RZ26     (C) DEC, T386> SCSI2
0/direct fix
ed
sd0: 1001 MB, 2570 cyl, 14 head, 57 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 2050860 sectors
ahc1: target 3 synchronous at 10.0MHz, offset = 0xf
ahc1: target 3 using tagged queuing
sd1 at scsibus0 target 3 lun 0: <DEC, RZ26     (C) DEC, 392A> SCSI2
0/direct fix
ed
sd1: 1001 MB, 2570 cyl, 14 head, 57 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 2050860 sectors
sd0: no disk label
sd1: no disk label

I suppose it's not possible to write a label to them without destroying
their current partitions?

By the way, CDs don't have labels do they, so how does the system get
around that in order to mount them?
