graid3 not working on partitions

[Michael Reifenberger]

Hi,
since GEOM so a nicely layered framework (and I didnt want to loose my MBR)
I tried to setup a graid3 using using da1s1a... instead of da1...
getting the following negative results:
(not only trying to use da1/da1s1 for parity,
  it trashes the disklabel on da1s1 too)

...
(totum)(root) graid3 label -r -v data da3s1a da4s1a da1s1a
GEOM_RAID3: Device data created (id=224).
