bsdlabel question

[walt]

Hi Poul-Henning,

#bsdlabel  ad0s3
# /dev/ad0s3:
8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
   a: 15321596 140974726    4.2BSD        0     0     0
   b:  1048576 139926150      swap
   c: 16370235 139926150    unused        0     0         # "raw" part, don't edit
partition a: offset past end of unit
partition a: partition extends past end of unit
partition b: offset past end of unit
partition b: partition extends past end of unit
partition c: offset past end of unit
partition c: partition extends past end of unit
bsdlabel: partition c doesn't start at 0!
bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities

Do you really want all of those scary error messages, given that all of the numbers
are correct?

My question, I suppose, is whether bsdlabel should give some historical context
about whether the offset is relative to the start of the partition or the start of
the disk.  This could be very confusing to a new user.
