I found some more info about bsd disklabel, so I assume that I can add a 
partition called 'e' with following lines to disklabel .
'e' would fill out the rest of the partition ( size and offset marked 
with stars)?

|#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  e:        *        *    4.2BSD     2048  16384   16

Is this correct? if it is this is pretty good to configure compared to windows partitions...

or maybe like this (don't know whether the offset should be there):

|#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  e:        10G      *    4.2BSD     2048  16384   16   |

|  f:        10G      *    4.2BSD     2048  16384   16   |
