Is disklabel(8) capable of putting a disklabel on anything other than 
the first netbsd slice?

I tried using other bsd partitions to refer to other dos slices but it 
seems as though "disklabel [-r] /dev/rwd0?" will always write it's label 
to the same place.  That is, "disklabel /dev/rwd0e" appears to be the 
same label as "disklabel /dev/rwd0f".
