My GEOM classes knows how to deal with it. If configured properly, each
provider has different size and this is enough for them to find the
right one. For example ad0s1a is 16 sectors shorter than ad0s1, which i
63 sectors shorter than ad0 (when we have one slice covering entire disk
and one partition covering entire slice).
