System: NetBSD splode.eterna.com.au 1.6P NetBSD 1.6P (_splode_) #30: Sat Mar 15 00:15:28 EST 2003 mrg@what-time-is-love.eterna.com.au:/var/_splode_ sparc64

>Description:

	on a powermac G4 with a new dvdrom drive, i get panics in my kernel
	if i set MAXBSIZE less than 64KB.  i tracked this to macppc/disksubr.c
	read_mac_label() calling geteblk() with sectorsize * 32, which with
	the old 512 byte cdrw is 16KB, but with the new dvdrom it causes
	allocbuf() to panic: allocbuf: buffer larger than MAXBSIZE requested.
	this line is the culprit:

		bp = geteblk((int)lp->d_secsize * NUM_PARTS);

>How-To-Repeat:

	try to use a 2KB sector size device on a 16KB MAXBSIZE macppc machine.

>Fix:

	rework mac_read_label() to keep buffers MAXBSIZE or smaller!
