Um, my i386 -current box has both 165 and 169 partitions on it: one for
1.3.2 (a hedge against disaster) and one for -current shenanigans.

This machine is used for frequent "make build" and my impression is that
any time the disklabel is skimmed and an old partition ID is found, this
message appears on the console. I do see it quite often.
