Posting a question in freebsd-questions does not always get you an
answer, since it might be something that none has seen before, or that
none can answer it because they're busy or something.  Don't fail to
remember that most of the people that write in these lists are also
occupied in some daily job, and they do reply in their free time ;)

slice type == 11, this is AFAIK a windows fat32 type.

Perhaps it does not bother showing the windows fat32 slice.

Perhaps... I am no bsd guru, therefore I'm only guessing here.
