Oh, are they?  Damn.

Can we *please* get 16 partitions on i386?  I'm already using a, e, f, g, and
h for "real" partitions.  If 'b' is reserved for swap, 'c' is reserved for
the whole NetBSD partition, and 'd' is reserved for the entire disk, I can
only have 5 partitions on a disk, which is *pathetic*.

(You can tell my first NetBSD system was an amiga...)

Just out of curiousity, what breaks if we increase the # of partitions?  Have
we already filled our disklabel block?
