(I've deleted the original message; sorry for the lack of context.)
If you want to read an OSF disklabel under Linux/Alpha, you shouldn't have to
do anything special--at least in 2.2.* kernels, support for OSF partition tables
is included by default (that is, ifdef __alpha__). The OSF disklabel is
similar, but not identical, to the BSD disklabel.
