"pc98_partition" is OK, but "mbr_partition" is bogus since partition tables are not restricted to the MBR -- there is one in every extended partition. <sys/diskpc98.h> is similarly OK and <sys/diskmbr.h> is similarly bogus. "at386" would be a better prefix/suffix than "mbr" for the non-pc98 pc's. It is used for the main bus space header. The normal prefix for "partition table" seems to be "" according to google. FreeBSD has "dos_partition" and NetBSD has "mbr_partition". Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
