mac osx disklabels

[pallen at donut.ugcs.caltech.edu]

Yeah, this sounds like a way to a solution.  Of course, the
drive isn't mine :-/ so I'm sort of powerless on this point.

The consensus seems to be though that FreeBSD doesn't
support reading those mac disklabels (partitions)...

I wonder, can FreeBSD read GPT organized disks (ia64) under
i386?
