Perhaps an aside, but I'm pretty sure Warren (cc'd) has said that gpart 
can do anything that fdisk AND bsdlabel can do?  If that's so, and the 
object here is to deprecate fdisk, why not also replace these lines:

+
+	bsdlabel -w -B -b ${NANO_WORLDDIR}/boot/boot ${MD}
+	bsdlabel ${MD}
+

with their gpart equivalents?

(and no, I don't know what those should be in this context)

cheers, Ian
