[comp.sys.dec] Where does Ultrix put the partition tables for RA[2568][01235]s?

I've been thinking about hacking this into 4.3BSD, and I thought it would be
nice to put them in the same place that Ultrix does (we might have to run
Ultrix at some time ...). When are the tables read in, at boot time, at first
access to the drive, or when partition 'a' is mounted? (I know the last is an
easy way to get the info in, but then you have to mount all 'a' partitions,
before you access anything, and what about swapon, ...)
  Also, does anyone know the magic MSCP commands to do bad block replacement
on a UDA? Will Ultrix do it?
