It probably just makes sense to have the confirmation page tell you what it
is about to destroy: c0t0d0 or c0t0d0s3 or whatever. Then it is covered in
all cases.

Painful one at that. :-)

Machine, no, but I could quickly spin up a VirtualBox VM with some virtual
disks attached. Shouldn't be that hard.

Now if only I could figure out the mapping between /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0[s|p0]?
and what prtvtoc prints, I might be OK.
