bsdlabel sends out some non-sense message when showing a slice information.
For a disk drive with single slice, this may make sense. If a drive has multiple slices, the C cannot cover the entire disk space, and this message make no sense at all.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a two or more slices on a hard disk drive then run bsdlabel on each slice.
