Kinda. The kernel supports it. Userland tools, though, don't.

The real problem is that you need a customized version of pdisk to format
the partitions. AFAIK, I'm the only person with it, and I think what I've
got is a bit gross. :-) NetBSD looks in a lot of the flags A/UX used, and
which pdisk ignores. :-(

Take care,
