About Sun disk labels:

 * yes, it is the 's' key in fdisk

 * yes, this is documented over and over in the Install Manual
   (http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/)

 * yes, it is required as a kernel configuration option.  Also, more
   importantly, OpenBoot can't boot on a disk w/o a Sun disk label
   (unless you've got some wacky forth code you're loading -- never
   say never)
