Somewhat along the same line...  Are you aware that disklabel'ing an
entire drive won't work on Mac.. er, NetBSD/mac68k?  Disklabel'ing a
drive destroys its partition table, and the driver refuses to read the
label.  Instead, it insists on reading MacOS partition table which is
now invalid, and keeps saying there's only one "unknown"-type (or
maybe it was "unused") partition on the drive.

Would it be hard to make the driver try either one of them then
try the other after a failure?
