        I always thought that was... unhelpful, that and the fact you
        cannot display the partition information without the other fields
        (and vica versa) - which is painful on the sun framebuffer.

        I think I may end up taking a look at that :)

        I was going to wait until 1.4 had been reolved, then try to
        get sparc and i386 to use the same ramdisk dir (its all mostly
        done anyway), then onto pmax and others :)
