The problem is known (at least) to me. The last '*' will expand to the
complete remaining size of the disk, not taking the offset '16' for
partition 'a' into account. So either change the offset of 'a' to '0'
(why is there such an offset anyway?) or calculate it by hand.

I think a commit in CURRENT fixed that behaviour, but I can't remember
right now. Wich version of FreeBSD are you trying to install?

Which is worse: ignorance or apathy?
Don't know. Don't care.
