I don't think that NetBSD has done anything about this. OpenBSD can grok, btw the old style disklabels that FreeBSD writes. Had I known this when I was hacking on OpenBSD/arc at the outset, I'd have saved myself a lot of grief about learning how to boot a machine diskless :-(. : Either way, it's possible to up the number... but is it desirable? Yes. I think so. Not enought to try to do the work, however. : how big the BSD partition is. So 'c' and 'd' are redundant (all : redundancy not related to fault tolerance should be eliminated). I think that 'd' is no longer used, on freeBSD, for this purpose. It doesn't show up at all in any of my disklabel edits that I've been doing lately. Warner
