Really?  Every time I think I have understand some of the vinum man page, 
along comes groggy to bugger me up.........so I could label a disk with a 
vinum partition and a freebsd partion (if I can figure out the maths 
correctly)?


f: 29696000        0           4.2BSD  0     0    0   # (Cyl.    0 - 29460*)
h: 1020280   29696000     vinum                      # (Cyl. 29460*- 30472*)
c: 30716280        0          unused        0     0    # (Cyl.    0 - 30472*)
