   Nope - not with dear old stun-os it doesn't.  At least not the last
   time I knew. A SunOS FFS knows how to avoid the partition table but
   not swap, it will stomp all over it.

Hmmm, it may be that the code is only compiled into the MUNIX kernels,
but I know it does check this specific thing in some circumstances on
4.1.3_U1 and above.  Someone who knows better can confirm/deny/clarify
this.
