- How to use edlabel
- ------------------
-
-
-Edlabel is a program to edit disklabels on any disks in a standalone
-environment. Mostly it is used to set labels when doing initial
-installation procedure. It is started from boot program prompt.
-You will here be guided through a session, things with ^^^^ under
-is typed in by the user, comments are within /* */.

-Nboot
-: edlabel

-With this program you can modify everything in the on-disk
-disklabel. To do something useful you must know the exact
-geometry of your disk, and have ideas about how you want
-your partitions to be placed on disk. Some hints:
-The a partition should be at least ~20000 blocks, the
-b (swap) is depending on your use of the machine but it
-should almost never be less than ~32000 blocks.
-
-Disk geometry for most DEC disks can be found in the disktab
-file, and disknames is listed in the installation notes.
-
-Remember that disk names is given as disk(adapt, ctrl, disk, part)
-when using the installation tools.
