I know of the disk label problem (in OpenBSD at > least), which should be relatively easy to fix, but are there others? I think the disklabel is it (I have JAZ disks with Net and Open on them). The cannonical fix,IMO, is to change the disk devices into a hierarchy of devices. I've discused this before. Each partitioning schema would descend one layer.
