Certainly not <sys/diskslice.h>, which is supposed to be machine indepennent. There are currently two machine- dependent warts in <sys/diskslice.h>: it assumes that the function that fills in the slice tables is named `dsinit()', and it has a machine- dependent field ds_type, which can't be correctly handled without the list of partition types. >It might not be, I don't really know. What happens on an alpha box that >has NT and OSF on it? Maybe there should a sys/foreignOS tree. It could hold everything for foreign OS's except file systems. Bruce
