I still object :-). `auto' only works for dedicated disks, and labelling those is easy using standard features: disklabel /dev/rsdX | sed -e s'/interleave: 0$/interleave: 1/' \ -e s'/rpm: 0$/rpm: 3600/' \ -e s'/^[1-7] partitions/8 partitions/' | disklabel -B -r -R sdX /dev/stdin disklabel -e sdX The sed command and `auto' do the same fixups for the incomplete label on /dev/rsdX.
