If you mean pdisk, the latest version requires some header location
changes (linux becomes sys, etc), and there's a problem with a function
that I'm not even familiar with, that appears to check command line
options.. the linux version supports some sort of extended options that
the NetBSD version of the function doesn't.  After commenting it out, the
program seems to work fine, at least for reading partitions.  I'm assuming
it owuld work just as well for modifying them.
