disklabel and solaris vtoc

[Christoph Egger <Christoph_Egger%gmx.de@localhost>]

Hi!

I have OpenSolaris with zfs on a secondary disk.

fdisk wd1:

Disk: /dev/rwd1d
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 484521, heads: 16, sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 488397168

BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 1023, heads: 255, sectors/track: 63 (16065 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 488397168

Partition table:
0: Solaris boot partition (sysid 191)
    start 16065, size 488376000 (238465 MB, Cyls 1-30400), Active
1: <UNUSED>
2: <UNUSED>
3: <UNUSED>
First active partition: 0
Drive serial number: 1007341469 (0x3c0acf9d)


disklabel wd1:

disklabel: boot block size 0
disklabel: super block size 0


fdisk recognizes the solaris boot partition.
disklabel does not know solaris vtoc and hence doesn't recognize the zfs
file system.

It would be cool if netbsd supports solaris vtoc as you could boot
solaris and netbsd from the same zpool someday then :)
