My question here is: How does this imply that sun labels support
primary, extended or logical?  If it were to imply that, I would think
that we need a clarification. But I clearly see that it says "only used
for msdos and dvh disk labels.".  If this implies something, its that
sun labels are not to use primary, logical or extended.

Can you pls expand on your resoning...
