Does anybody know what the rationale is behind _not_ setting the d_type
field of the disklabel for a wd-type disk? The code to do this is enclosed
in an '#if 0'.
On the atari, the bootloader installed on the disk (by installboot) depends
on the type of disk. Currently this info is extracted from the d_type field
in the disklabel. For wd-type disks, this is now 'unknown' - something the
installboot program does not really understand. For SCSI disks it still is
'SCSI'....

If there are no objections, I'd like to re-enable this piece of code.

Leo.
