bsdlabel does not create geli slices ie; /dev/ad4s1.elia

[Cem Kayali]

Well, could this be because i partitioned ad4 hard disk by gparted? Disk 
has other OSs on other partitions... Very strange, i couldn't find any 
helpfull information about this on the net --- nor similar problem. 
Maybe i should try a latest snaphot instead of FreeBSD 7 release.

Regards,
Cem
