In particular the 'read' part plays 'hunt the disklabel' in order to get a
label into a local buffer - from where it can be displayed/edited.
The 'write' part makes a separate scan of the disk looking for places to
write the label.
The main changes are:
- It can no longer write the first 8k of the mbr to the pbr (or v.v.)
- All labels on the disk (that it can find) get updated during a write
- With -A all the labels are displayed (inc. those deleted by -D)
- Addition of -D which will delete (by one's complimenting dk_magic{2}) and
existing labels before writing labels to the expected locations.
- -v gives some verbose output to stderr, -vv more etc
A better basis for processing incorrect endian labels, or labels from other
architectures.

controls with the section for the other MBR-using platforms that

* Don't prompt the user to "erase the previous contents of the disk"
when there's no NetBSD MBR partition; SAVEBOOTAREA is sufficient.
These fixes mean that you can create a disklabel (on an i386/amd64) on a disk
that doesn't have a NetBSD MBR partition without trashing the existing MBR.
The previous behaviour was extremely annoying when working with media such
as FAT-formatted CF cards, and didn't really protect people with such from
accidentally trashing part of sector 1 of such disks, and made it extremely
easy to trash sectors 0..15 of those disks instead.
it conditional on USE_ACORN, and define that if MACHINE is arm26 or acorn32.
This is less than optimal, and maybe we should define it for all ARM systems,
but then disklabel handling across architectures is generally a mess at the
moment.
