I think something like this would be good, too. I don't have
a Sparc, but just knowing how to get gcc set-up to do the compile
would be great (and would help flush out the how-to files) :-)

Uhm, I thought disktab was only used by newfs and friends. At least
on Ultrix, that's how it works. When it comes to actually talking
to the drive in the kernel, we go out and ask the drive itself. Since
our partitioning is done by MacOS, we don't really need disktab,
AFAIK.

Take care,
