Here is my pdisk output in linux, so this is correct:

Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/hda'
  #:                type name     length   base     ( size )
  1: Apple_partition_map Apple        63 @ 1      
  2:     Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap     524288 @ 64       (256.0M)
  3:     Apple_UNIX_SVR2 /       5767168 @ 524352   (  2.8G)
  4:     Apple_UNIX_SVR2 /home  73749728 @ 6291520  ( 35.2G)

Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=80041248 (38.2G)
DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0

Here is my disklabel output in NetBSD (incorrect):

bash-2.04# disklabel wd0
# /dev/rwd0c:
type: ESDI
disk: Maxtor 54098U8 
label: fictitious
flags:
bytes/sector: 512

sectors/cylinder: 1008

total sectors: 80041248
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0           # microseconds
track-to-track seek: 0  # microseconds
drivedata: 0

3 partitions:
#        size   offset     fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
   a: 27686112 31383616    unknown                        # (Cyl. 
31134*- 58600*)
   c: 80041248        0     unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0 - 79405)
disklabel: boot block size 0
disklabel: super block size 0

Thanks,
