slices, partitions, fdisk and bsdlabel on ia64

[Anton Shterenlikht]

I'm just starting using FBSD ia64, and it seems things are slightly
different from alpha.

This is a fresh install FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT-200906 ia64.

Am I correct in thinking this is a "dangerously dedicated" (no slices) disk,
and partitions are numbered p<number>?
Does this mean the handbook section 3.5, Disk Organisation,
is incorrect for ia64?

There's no fdisk on ia64, is there?

I can't find bsdlabel either, on alpha it's under /sbin, but
on ia64 it's nowhere to be found.

many thanks
