Speaking of MAXPARTITIONS problems, a related problem exists in newfs.c:

                if (cp == 0 || (*cp < 'a' || *cp > 'h') && !isdigit(*cp))
                        fatal("%s: can't figure out file system partition",
                            argv[0]);

where 'h' is hard-coded as the upper limit.  This makes it quite
interesting trying to newfs such partitions as sd1i, sd1j, etc. on the 
Amiga port (and likely any other port that supports more than 8
partitions...)...

While a simple hack can make newfs work, that hack will not help
resolve the MAXPARTITIONS issues like an elegant solution would...

Keep up the great work guys...

Later...
