So I guess we're talking about this tool then (quoting from http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/gpart):

    A port of a tool which tries to guess the primary partition
    table of a PC-type hard disk [...]

    WWW: http://brzitwa.de/mb/gpart/index.html (outdated)

That's completely different from what FreeBSD's own gpart does.
Just because two tools happen to share the same name doesn't
necessarily mean that they'll also do the same thing.
