I think I have managed to slash a path through the disklabel mess,
and created a simpler and less hostile "bsdlabel" instead.
Please install a -current kernel and compile the bsdlabel program
(src/sbin/bsdlabel) and let me know what you think.
Please test it in every way you can imagine, including that
writing of bootblocks and that they work afterwards as well.
The plan is:
1) A few days shakeout (what this email is about!)
2) Some make/release work.
3) Install bsdlabel on all platforms.
4) Install symlinks:
sparc64: sunlabel -> disklabel
i386: bsdlabel -> disklabel
pc98: bsdlabel -> disklabel
alpha: bsdlabel -> disklabel
???: ???
Thanks in advance,

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
