I haven't done it, but I agree with you. I was thinking of
making the code MI and specifying in MD header files which
partition-grovelling routines to consider. I considered doing
this to get my hp300 disks to work on i386. In the end I
didn't have too, since I could place both disklabels on the
disk without trouble.
