Hi Perry,

That turns out not to be the case.

UTSL. Try 'egrep 'dos|mbr' /usr/src/sbin/disklabel/disklabel.c,
Or look at the parts inside #ifdef __i386__.

If __i386__ wasn't defined, then you'd be correct.  But in both
yesterday's sup tree and in a tree CVS'ed right now, nm
/usr/src/sbin/disklabel/obj/disklabel.o says quite clearlythat
disklabel *does* know about the MBR on an i386.

Maybe disklabel shouldn't know about the MBR, but the fact is,
on an i386, it does.
