I'm saying this with my port master hat on. >=20 Then the only option we have is to call disklabel "bsdlabel". We need it to be able to work with BSD labelled disks. You can take the BSD labelled disk on sparc64, bswapfs(8) it, and mount. I want all architectures understand each other. I'm not against disklabel be -> to sunlabel on sparc64, and -> to bsdlabel on platforms with native BSD labels, as I already told.
