except (b) is _NOT_ an adequate description of the second possibility.

to be complete, it must account for the possibility of using
_multiple_ native partitions, and the necessity of having to create
a disklabel, at least for internal use.


The interesting bit about sharing disks with other file systems
really isn't how to partition the UN*X space, it's how to partition
the UN*X space best _AND_ (perhaps) allow use of the other partitions
on the disk.
