However, as I said, I don't know which of those Ultrix 4.3 is, and if
it's the latter, I don't know the command (unless by chance it's the
"disklabel" I'm used to in modern open-source BSD).
Ultrix is BSD related, so to read the label you use 'disklabel -r', to edit
the label it's 'disklabel -er' which invokes ed to actually edit the label.
IIRC the default label was / on partition a, swap on b and /usr on g but
it's been a long time since I've used ultrix in anger, probably 8 years or
so. OSF/1 used the same defaults before it morphed into Tru64 V5 and moved
onto SystemV device naming.

Or rather, it is one of the partitions on that disk.
ra0a is just
one of the (probably) eight possible partitions on ra0. On some
systems, the partition table was compiled in; on others, it was read
off the disk. I don't know which Ultrix 4.3 was.
Is there any way to display
the partition table of each disk from
single user mode?
