Is this normal that multiple installations of 5.1-RELEASE complain
when running bsdlabel:
# /dev/ad0s1:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a: 524288 63 4.2BSD 2048 16384 32776
  b: 4194304 524351 swap
  c: 39102273 63 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
  d: 1048576 4718655 4.2BSD 2048 16384 8
  e: 33335105 5767231 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
partition c: partition extends past end of unit
bsdlabel: partition c doesn't start at 0!
bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities
partition e: partition extends past end of unit

This does not seem to happen if the disk has been labeled by previous
versions and upgraded from source.
