True - mine's a VAIO: ******* Working on device /dev/ad0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=2584 heads=240 sectors/track=63 (15120 blks/cyl) [cut] The data for partition 3 is: sysid 160,(Suspend to Disk) start 15120, size 408240 (199 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 1/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 27/ sector 63/ head 239 [cut] It doesn't need to be on the beginning of the disk AFAIK, but I put it there to make my life easier (I installed a 20gb drive and had to do some juggling around to get my old data back online.)
