I'm trying to write a partition table from scratch to build a disklabel
for a scsi hdd (4.3GB IBM DDRS-34560D).  In the past, working on the i386/
pc98 port, all my labels have a 256-sector offset for partitions a and c.
How about "pure" i386?  (Way in the back of my mind I recall "32" for some
reason.)

Disklabel gives me the d partition as:
#        size   offset     fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
  d:  8925000        0     unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0 - 8419*)

What should partition c: be?  What should the offset for partition a: be?

Thanks a lot.
