4.2 did not have pack-resident labels - I distinctly remember editing the
partition table in the DEC RA81 driver in 4.3BSD, as the partition layout that
Berkeley used (and distributed) didn't match the one we were already using.

IIRK, Chris Torek (then at UMD) contributed the pack-resident label code around
the time of 4.3 Tahoe.
