Indeed! But consider the audience. It was not posted for a complete
newbie; it was posted for someone who's done several NetBSD installs
(presumably) and wishes to write documentation for a newbie. What you
saw was my brief outline for an entire chapter of a book that, as well
as saying `disklabel the disk,' would discuss what a disklabel is,
how the system uses it, how one edits one, and so on.
