As I said in my first post, NetBSD pdisk.  I run it from the NetBSD.macppc =
ISO=20
install cd shell. The format of the output will be a little off below, but=
=20
here is what I get:

#pdisk  /dev/wd0c
Edit /dev/wd0c -=20
Command (? for help): p

Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/wd0c'

You can see the /, swap and /usr partitions flagged. =20
