Ok, so I was thinking of <sys/disklabel.h>.  (Forgive me, it's late)

I suppose we will just end up in semantic arguments about whether the
Apple Partition Map and related stuff or PC MBR related stuff is a
"bootblock" related issue (such as the alpha/vax/pmax stuff already in
<sys/bootblock.h>), or a "disklabel" related issue. 
My gut feel is that it's more bootblock-y than disklabel-y...
