Hi,
still at this,


c2490a|Compaq C2490A SCSI:\
	:ty=winchester:dt=SCSI:ns#16:nt#51:nc#5036:sf:\
	:oa#0:pa#2054688:\
	:ob#2054688:pb#2054688:\
	:oc#0:pc#4109376:

This doesn't work yet. 2 partitions of 2054688 each = 4109376, and disklabel
returns the error:

  disklabel: ioctl DIOCSDINFO: Open partition would move or shrink

It then exits, without writing any info.

The curious thing is, that the handmade edited labelling seems to work without
error, using the 4110000 numbers?

Maybe there is something fundamentally wrong with this section?
