Bug#238091: woody install created bad sun disklabels?



So it sounds like fdisk in woody created bad, non-standard Sun disklabels.
And yet, they somehow worked.  Ow.

I suppose this really calls for a disklabel-repair program which would
write a valid Sun disklabel over the non-standard disklabel without losing any 
data.  If that's not possible (the differences in disk geometry may mean that 
it isn't possible),  I don't know what the right thing to do is -- it seems 
inappropriate to add support for bogus non-standard disklabels. :-P
