The NetBSD disklabel contains its own partition table, so
an AHDI partition table is not required. The total number
of partitions is currently limited to 16 per medium.
Obviously, a harddisk without AHDI partition table cannot
be used by TOS/MagiC or Linux (the latter has access to
the whole disk as a raw device).

Not yet. At least one harddisk must have an AHDI partition
table, because NetBSD can only be booted under TOS/MagiC.
A bootloader is necessary to boot NetBSD without TOS.

It's just a first attempt to get on our feet. We're by no
means walking yet. :-)

With these feet it should be easy to stand up; not sure about
walking... :-)
