disk-utils/README.fdisk.alpha

   2 There are some things which have to be done for the alpha version:
   3 - LABELSECTOR, LABELOFFSET, BBSIZE & SBSIZE are undefined in fdisklabel.h
   4   These values are different for different versions of NetBSD and I don't
   5   have the alpha source tree for NetBSD yet (It's not in 1.0 but in current).
   6   I guess Linux/Alpha uses the same values.
   7 - The alpha fdisklabel.c requires a few functions from fdisk.c.
   8   ("make test" shows the undefined symbols when fdisk.c is missing)
   9   All the other functions/variables shouldn't be declared. I didn't do
  10   that because I didn't want to change much in fdisk.c.
  11 - The disklabel in fdisklabel.c is the NetBSD disklabel which might
  12   differ from the Linux/Alpha disklabel in some parts.
  13 - bselect () should be called from main () immediately. Under Linux/Alpha
  14   it's the main menu and not a submenu.
