 } The gpt migrate test case (part of /usr/tests/sbin/gpt) fails on various
 } machines because it assumes a MBR/x86'ish environment.
 } 
 } It creates a disk image from a template that is made for RAW_PART=3 (i.e. 'd')
 } machines like this:
 } 
 } dd conv=notrunc msgfmt=quiet if=/dev/zero of=gpt.disk seek=10240 count=1
 
      Just a note that this appears to be an off-by-1 error.  This
 command creates a disk that is exactly 5MB + 1 sector.  It should
 probably be "seek=10239".
