Yes, you need to be carefull to not write the label back to the disk, it will
trash you DOS partition table (it will warn you about this, and you'll have
to enter 'yes' to really do it). But if you use 'disklabel' and not
'disklanel -r', it will only update the in-memory copy and won't touch
the disk.
