Thanks for the program.
I think, however, that the proper solution is to make disklabel work
with slices. We shouldn't need three programs to label a disk...
if fdisk and disklabel can't do the job then our distribution is broken.
I am going to spend some time researching the problem to see if I can
come up with a 'disklabel' solution for labeling slices. It would
also be nice if someone could figure out why our 'dangerously dedicated'
partition fails with some BIOSes ... it should be possible to fix it if
someone could track down what exactly is causing the divide-by-0 !
