No (except that the 16K partition will go away).  I'll take a look (I
think the user slice 3 should be assigned to 'a' in that case since
there's no other valid partition).  I see what's wrong (just looked at
the code).  I'll fix it.  Basically, it was ignoring any Apple_UNIX_SVR2
partition unless it was root, usr, or swap.  I changed it to treat it
like it treats any other unknown partition type.  Actually, it only does
this if the boot-zero-block (BZB) magic number is correct.  This will
mean that eschatology partitions will start showing up, I think.

Thanks,
