One last Q: why "-b 16" ?  From the disklabel(8):

     -b s1bno    Install primary at block number s1bno instead of the default
                 location for the machine and file system type.  [alpha, pmax,
                 vax]

     -B s2bno    When hard-coding the blocks of secondary into primary, start
                 from block s2bno instead of trying to determine the block
                 numbers occupied by secondary by examining filesystem.  If
                 this option is supplied, secondary should refer to an actual
                 secondary bootstrap (rather than the file name of the one
                 present in filesystem) so that its size can be determined.

...just curious...
