Re: disklabel differences FreeBSD, DragonFly

There is another solution for FreeBSD folks, however. You *DO* have
four slices to play with. You can put a disklabel with 8 partitions
in it on each one (for 32 total). It isn't as convenient, but it does
work.
About `lack' of partitions - don't forget that labels can be nested.
Just do `bsdlabel -w /dev/ad0s1e` - you'll get /dev/ad0s1ea.
