>From my understanding of the code, if there's no 0xa5-type BIOS
partition on a disk, then the disklabel is expected to be in absolute
sector 1 (ie the one after the BIOS partition table). If you had a
partition-table boot program on that disk that extended into the next
sector (like OS-BS 2.0b8 but not OS-BS 1.35), I guess that would be a
problem 8-)
