	Good piece, but it doesn't explicitly cover one case and "man"
provides no example.
	I have a disk - ad1 - with a partition - p2 - that was
(obviously) created by gpart ... but no label was attached.
	Can I add a label to that partition later?  "man gpart" only
shows a label being added when the partition is created,
