A lot of people have been asking for this recently, and I must admit I'm
a bit puzzled as to why we need our own disklabels.

Since MacOS partitioners can make the partitions we need, what do we gain?
We don't get rid of the "ficticious geometry" messages as they come
from a part of the code which is asking the drive itself for the
geometry, not looking in the disklabel on disk.

I guess part of my grumbling about this is that, IMHO, what NetBSD
needs is a mechanism to support multiple disklabel formats. We support
multiple file system types, and lots of drives, but each machine only
supports one type of disklabel (AFAIK). So to add native disklabels
RIGHT(tm), we need a way to deal w/ multiple disklabel formats.

Afterall, why couldn't we just write MacOS partition maps?

Take care,

Bill
