As Micheal mentioned - sysinst does not have any RDB code - it just
relies on the disklabel returned from the kernel, and the kernel has
code to convert an RDB map to a disklabel. So you can see the result
of that directly with 'disklabel sd0' (or similar)

Any chance it could be imported - there is still a significant win
going from "no tool" to "unfriendly tool". It can't be much less
friendly than gpt :-p :-p
