I have no idea about scyld.

Daryl's disk partitioning script is newer so I figure it's more likely
to work but I do have an old mirror of their FTP site from about 1.5
yrs ago.  I've been keeping it around since Becker is in the habit of
accusing us of IP theft.  Email me directly if you want an old beoboot
source RPM or something.  The beofdisk script is in there and it's got
a nice big GPL license banner on it so it's fair game to pass around.
