Exactly my point, freebsd-4 sees dfbsd disklabel as corrupted.

	It might be possible for one of the committers to make the
	FreeBSD-4 disklabel(8) understand DF disklabels; and then
	make a binary patch available for your copy of disklabel.
	Off the top of my head, I am not sure how many kernel changes
	are required, apart from the loader.
	Anyone up for this ?

	Kind regards,
