 # Disk geometry and partition layout tables.
-# Key:
-#	dt	controller type
-#	ty	type of disk (fixed, removeable, simulated)
-#	d[0-4]	drive-type-dependent parameters
-#	ns	#sectors/track
-#	nt	#tracks/cylinder
-#	nc	#cylinders/disk
-#	sc	#sectors/cylinder, ns*nt default
-#	su	#sectors/unit, sc*nc default
-#	se	sector size, DEV_BSIZE default
-#	rm	rpm, 3600 default
-#	sf	supports bad144-style bad sector forwarding
-#	sk	sector skew per track, default 0
-#	cs	sector skew per cylinder, default 0
-#	hs	headswitch time, default 0
-#	ts	one-cylinder seek time, default 0
-#	il	sector interleave (n:1), 1 default
-#	bs	boot block size, default BBSIZE
-#	sb	superblock size, default SBSIZE
-#	o[a-h]	partition offsets in sectors
-#	p[a-h]	partition sizes in sectors
-#	b[a-h]	partition block sizes in bytes
-#	f[a-h]	partition fragment sizes in bytes
-#	t[a-h]	partition types (filesystem, swap, etc)
-#
-# All partition sizes reserve space for bad sector tables.
-# (5 cylinders needed for maintenance + replacement sectors)
