I dont have any more info about the layout.
The code for AIX in fdisk was added around 1999-03-20. So if anyone had
any trouble with matching the 4 byte at the beginning of the disks,
fdisk would do more or different checks before rejecting such a disk.
I'm not sure if fdisk was always the tool of choice, but its a good
measure.
