Yes, it's in current.

How does it compare w/ the mac68k partitioning code.... given that I STOLE
it from mac68k, I think it compares well. :-) The only difference is that
this code looks for NetBSD disklabels before MacOS partitions (as
installbout makes a fake MacOS partition table in which it puts the boot
loader and which we need to ignore), and that it can write NetBSD
disklabels.

Take care,
