Nope.

These days I expect most removable media to be MBR-partitioned, and to
get a faked-up disklabel from that. The SD card I used above ends up
with:

5 partitions:
#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
 d:    246016         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 -    120*)
 e:    245919        97      MSDOS                     # (Cyl.      0*-    120*)

Yeah. I don't expect that to be terribly relevant to this problem, though.
