I've had bad luck trying to repartition with disklabel.  I have a
program that knows how to read, modify, and write Sun labels, which may
be of use to people wishing to repartition disks for NetBSD/sparc and
NetBSD/sun3.  It should work fine on any big-endian system; I think
only minor tweaks are necessary to make it work on a little-endian
system, but since I don't have any such on hand, I haven't tested it.
I also don't have it distribution-ready (eg, docs, compiling on stock
systems), but that's probably something I can do in an hour or two if
people are interested.
