Hi,

I am using an external hard drive with a mac68k NetBSD system, and I would
like to try mounting it from an i386 NetBSD system.  The i386 system does
not find the disklabel, apparently because on i386 the disklabel is stored
in a different location on the disk.  (I'm guessing it is specified in
/sys/arch/i386/include/disklabel.h)

When I try using "disklabel -W", NetBSD i386 complains that I need to
install a disklabel to the disk before I can write to it.  If I could
transfer a text formatted copy of the mac68k disklabel, and update it in
the kernel without writing to disk, maybe I could mount the fs (thanks to
FFS_EI).

Is there a way to update the disklabel only in the kernel, and not write it
to disk?

Thanks,

Ben
