I am very far from being an expert on these issues. And this link is certainly not "documentation": http://ivoras.sharanet.org/freebsd/freebsd8.html But if I look into the source code of bsdlabel (/usr/src/sbin/bsdlabel/bsdlabel.c), I can see this: #define MAXPARTITIONS 26 which at least tells me that is has been the *intention* that it should be possible.
