[[lots of stuff about disklabel and NUMBOOT]]
Oh, blast.
Of course both i386 and pmax define NUMBOOT to be 2. There's all
sorts of ``#ifdef i386'', MS-DOS partition-table specific code in
disklabel.c, and you definitely don't want *that* for a pmax.
I don't know if compiling on NetBSD/i386 with "cc -Ui386"
is sufficient. You may also want some definitions from
the pmax-specific /usr/include/machine/disklabel.h file.
I think the overall gist of what I wrote has the right idea, though;
it's just all the details that're wrong :)
