I suspect this is not entirely gratuitous and somewhat affected by platform-dependent bootstrap requirements. On i386, the label is at sector 1, offset 0. On alpha, it's at sector 0, offset 64. I've just looked through OpenBSD's collection of /sys/arch/*/include/disklabel.h, and those two places seem to be the most popular ones but by no means the only ones. For the MVME[68]8k machines it's at sector 0, offset 0, and the Atari and HP300 platforms have more complicated locations. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
