Greetings,
	I just had to make some repairs to my OpenBSD/arc disk.  I had
hoped to be able to do this on my FreeSBD box.  However, FreeBSD
refused to allow me to mount this disk.  It compained long and
bitterly about how the disklabel was bogus because it referred to
things outside of the slice it was on.

	Is there some way to tell FreeBSD "Look, I know that you don't
like this disk, but just cope and pretend it is a legacy disk w/o
slices, please?"  A quick look at the code didn't show anything
obvious that I could do.
