Why abandon : disklabel when that's the program everyone already knows how to use, : and when fixing it is so fraggin easy? Diskprep uses disklabel(8) and fdisk(8) to do the right thing. It also allows one to easily build multiple disks that are mostly alike, but might have differing geometries (eg make / 50M, /usr 500M, /var 30M and the rest in /junk).
