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

The last time that I looked at the disk partition maps, there were a
number of "reserved" and "Driver use" fields that I'd not want to get
into changing.  I've also had bad experiences with different MacOS
formatters getting confused with each-other's partition maps and I'd
rather not get NetBSD tools mixed up in that mess.
