In light of the new mount changes, how should these instructions from
Jo"rg be updated?

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd2 bs=1k count=1
    disklabel -Brw sd2 auto
    disklabel -e sd2
    newfs -d0 /dev/rsd2e
    fsck /dev/sd2e

Is the slice created by ``disklable .. auto'' always "s1"?
Doesn't a dedicatedly partitioned disk, really not contain slices?
fdisk(8) reports them as living in [fdisk] partition 4.  Can't tell what
sysinstall would do in "dangerous dedicated mode" as it won't see the
drives on my second SCSI bus. :(

    fsck /dev/sd2s1e 
    Can't open /dev/rsd2s1e: Device not configured
    fsck /dev/sd2s4e 
    Can't open /dev/rsd2s4e: Device not configured

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd2 bs=1k count=1
    disklabel -Brw sd2s1 auto
    disklabel: /dev/rsd2s1e: Device not configured
    disklabel -Brw sd2s4 auto
    disklabel: /dev/rsd2s4e: Device not configured

So what's the new way?
