Re: bin/56300: gpt useless on gpt labels extending beyond disk size (also affects sysinst)

[Frank Kardel <kardel%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Sorry, but no.

gpt resizedisk

fails the same way as destroy:

# gpt resizedisk sd2
gpt: /dev/rsd2: map entry doesn't fit media: new start + new size < start + size
(22 + 37d3ffde < 800 + 37e42800)
#

So at least these two should be fixed.
