Really? I didn't know that. Thanks!
Well, it means I have 5 left now:
root@kg-g5# gpart show ad0
=> 18 625142430 ad0 APM (298G)
18 1600 1 apple-boot (800K)
1618 155189248 2 freebsd-ufs (74G)
155190866 8388608 3 freebsd-swap (4.0G)
163579474 461562974 - free - (220G)
(if I can figure out the multiboot, that is)
