Hm. OK, the patch I submitted to 1.3.3 has Todd Vierling's suggestion:

"WARNING: disk appears to be old-NetbSD or FreeBSD. See installboot(8).\n"

Would you prefer it was changed (back) to the "very clear" message?

I had used Freebsd-2.2.5, which didnt grok 169. I'm told 2.2.7 is
fine.  But if Freebsd-3.0 enforces slice boundaries, the right thing
to do is to set up FreeBSD mounts for the native slices, surely?
