ISTR some discussion about disklabel support on the sgimips port not being
100% decided yet. What's the story?

I have a disk that I'd like to use at least for putting stuff on it, 
are there any recommendation on layout? Any sectors that should/should not
be used for filesystems?

Here is wat disklabel says:

#        size    offset     fstype  [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
 a:  17676630      3753     4.2BSD   1024  8192    16   # (Cyl.    3*- 14201*)
 b:    261459  17680383     4.2BSD   1024  8192    16   # (Cyl. 14201*- 14411*)
 i:      3753         0     4.2BSD   1024  8192    16   # (Cyl.    0 - 3*)
 k:  17941842         0    unknown                      # (Cyl.    0 - 14411*)


I'm used that 'c' is the whole disk, it seems to be 'k' here. What's going
on? And what is 'i'? :)
