Yes, disklabel worked o.k., I talked about potential problems with 
(DOS-term) partition tables, aka slice tables.
It's about two years ago, that I experimented with FBSD and 
"extended/logical slices", but at least fdisk and /stand/sysinstall 
didn't support those then. Did this change? At the moment I don't have 
a spare system to experiment and check this myself.

Ciao
