No support for slices?

[Holm Tiffe]

I've read somwhere in the doc's, that freebsd-alpha does*nt support
partitioning of the drives, since srm does'nt support it or can't boot
from partitions.

My experience with an USB Memory stick is, that the stick gets detected
an an /dev/da[something] is created in /dev, but the /dev/da[something]s1
for the fat filesystem on this stick is'nt created, so I can't mount the fs.
fdisk does'nt exist on this platform.

It seems to me, that dropping support for PC partition tables is the wrong
way ....

Suggestions?
