Hi,

I'm gradually switching from the familiar and comfortable agony of
fdisk/disklabel to gpart.

In the past, our org has avoided certain partition letters on specific
drives. If the drive isn't a boot drive, it has no 'a" partition. If
it has no swap, it has no 'b' partition.

gpart assigns partition letters in the order in which they're created.

Is there a way to specify which partition letter you want to create,
or start with, or something?

Thanks,
==ml
