Can the #ifdef i386 for LABELSECTOR and LABELOFFSET in sys/disklabel.h be removed
and put into machine/param.h (like 4.4) ? It cleans this up a bit.

Also how about changing the hp300 to use the 4.4BSD disklabel locations ?
This would be:

#define LABELSECTOR     (1024/DEV_BSIZE)
#define LABELOFFSET     0

And to quote Mike Hibler talking about the hp300 disklabel in 4.4:
