In my current patch set, if no partition table is found then all I do is 
interpose misc-files under disk-label. As long as we bubble back up the 
packages methods, no changes are required.

No, this is great! According to p.59 or thereabouts, disk-label 
conditionally interposes the filesystem package depending upon what it 
finds. This was the main part of the patch I was unsure about. I notice 
there is no mention of the sun-parts or pc-parts packages though; does 
anyone know where there is a copy of the SPARC platform bindings for 
more information?


ATB,
