Hmm, isn't that what I said? :)

That's what I would expect, but supposedly, it _has_ been labelled.
src/distrib/i386/floppies/ramdisk/Makefile first creates the
ramdisk-12G.fs file, vnconfigs it, disklabels it with the floppy3 label,
then tries to newfs it. And like I said, disklabel -r /dev/rvnd0d shows
a label, with partitions a-c.
