I don't think that will be possible. You'd have to move either the DOS
partition table or SRM to a different location on the disk, and I don't
think either one of them would be too happy about moving :-(
But it would be a neat hack if you can pull it off ;-)

As I see it,we are stuck with using either SRM+BSD labels or
AlphaBIOS+DOS partitions.
