2.4.3 and bsd disklabels

[csmall@eye-net.com.au (Craig Small)]

The Debian install disks said that I have to use those wierd BSD disk
labels, so I regetfully did :<

Anyhow, I now have disks like this:

BSD disklabel command (m for help): p

5 partitions:
#       start       end      size     fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
  a:        2       205       204       ext2                    
  b:      206       612       407       swap                    
  c:        1     59560     59560     unused        0     0       
  d:      613     20930     20318       ext2                    
  e:    20930     59560     38631       ext2                    

Compilied a 2.4.3 kernel and it gurgled along fine, until

hda: unknown partition table
then right at the end the kernel panics because it cannot find the root
partition.

I had 
CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL=y

so what doesn't it like?
