I do have to make FreeBSD/ia64 boot on a rx2660, but after that I may
be able to take a look at it. I know what's there and I know what's
missing, so I should be able to get the partitioning stuff working
soon-ish. The bootblock requirements may take little longer, because
there's where g_part is missing features.

Keep me in the loop.
FYI,
