Look in <sys/dkbad.h> (note "struct dkbad")
Then look in src/sys/arch/i386/isa/wd.c
Basically; you're looking at big changes in the following:
<sys/dkbad.h>
src/sys/arch/i386/isa/wd.c
src/sbin/disklabel/disklabel.c
src/etc/etc.i386/disktab
src/sys/arch/i386/boot/*
src/lib/libc/gen/disklabel.c
And probably a few other things.
