:and the tool would create these partitions, giving all the disk space

:you had a 300M disk, then partition d would be 300M-128M= 172M. This

All disklabel does is install a disklabel on a slice. If you want to
automatically allocate the remaining free space in an existing dos
partition table into a new slice, that sounds like a relatively trivial
job for fdisk to accomplish. Disklabel could then be used to label the
new slice.
