What's the status of the issue where devices with open partitions can't
have their boot sectors written to? I know phk@ was working on it a
while back but it's something I'd like to see fixed soon, maybe before
release?

fdisk: can't open device /dev/ad0
fdisk: cannot open disk /dev/ad0: Operation not permitted
zsh: 13660 exit 1     sudo fdisk -B ad0
~  9:25PM % sudo fdisk -i ad0
fdisk: can't open device /dev/ad0
fdisk: cannot open disk /dev/ad0: Operation not permitted
zsh: 13661 exit 1     sudo fdisk -i ad0
