First 8 KBytes of the freebsd partition are reserved for the boot code
(/boot/boot). The table of BSD partitions itself is located in the
second sector. So, if you plan to create freebsd-ufs partition you can
create it without any offset. But if it will be not an UFS partition,
then i would created it with offset, otherwise you can wipe the BSD label=
