    Yes. Without it, the partition table is not recognized at all.

    Disk /dev/discs/disc2/disc (Sun disk label): 134 heads, 62 sectors, 1020 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 8308 * 512 bytes

                    Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/discs/disc2/part1 0 24 99696 83 Linux native
    /dev/discs/disc2/part2 u 24 276 1046808 82 Linux swap
    /dev/discs/disc2/part3 0 1020 4237080 5 Whole disk
    /dev/discs/disc2/part4 276 399 510942 83 Linux native
    /dev/discs/disc2/part6 399 645 1021884 83 Linux native
    /dev/discs/disc2/part7 645 1020 1557750 83 Linux native

    Looks a little fishy between fdisk and /proc/partitions, but I don't
    know enough to say what, or if it is weird for sure.
