Hello!

Okay, this is what I've managed to do with disklabel so far. I haven't
figured out how to enter values for fsize, bsize and cpg. I'm guessing
that d: is the entire disk, and that c: is the entire disk minus the
boot track.  Type is set to ESDI, although it's an ATA disk.  I don't
know if I should change that.  Any helpful suggestions would be
welcome.
