It can't be used to create disks that are bootable by the firmware so I think it would be astonishing to call it disklabel. I think it would be less astonishing to link sunlabel to disklabel since the interfaces are similar and that what people expect to use to initialize disks. Please do not re-enable disklabel on sparc64 unless you call it something else. I'm saying this with my port master hat on. Jake
