Some noteworthy points:
1. Looks like you ran out of space in the disklabel (or in the
device namespace, or whatever): don't define this many disklabel slices
if you want to see the other partitions (which are typically numbered
from i). [I'm not 100% sure I'm correct here; please flame me, with the
correct answer if possible, if this is not the case.]
2. NTFS is not supported in GENERIC. This usually means the
implementation isn't really ready for prime time yet; you could build a
custom kernel, if you know what you are doing and have read most, if not
all, of FAQ 5.*.
3. I don't know what you want to do with the Compaq diag
partition, but it might not be too useful.
