I merged MacOS partitioning code in to macppc's disklabel code recently.
The only main difference between the macppc and mac68k versions is that
the macppc one will look for a NetBSD disklabel first, while the mac68k
one will look for a MacOS partition table first. We need to do that as
installboot on macppc will generate a fake MacOS partition table.

Does someone have a good port of pdisk? I have a version Tsubai sent me,
but it's been mashed on a few times (by me)..

The other thing to do is teach installboot to not destroy MacOS partition
tables it didn't create.. :-)

Take care,
