   This is something special to Linux and doesn't apply to *BSD (afaik none of
   'em).  Linux uses MBR partitions only to split the disk in parts.  *BSD uses
   the BSD disklabel exclusively for that and only uses one entry in the MBR
   to find that BSD disklabel.

But BSD does have a limit of 8 partitions (with some reserved) in the
disklabel, doesn't it?  That amounts to a similar limitation if
someone needs to break apart big drives into many partitions.
