The last time I used disklabel was on a 4.2-R system.  That nasty little
creature required you to calculate sector counts and offsets by hand and
hope it didn't barf with errors about c not covering the entire disk or
partition overlaps, despite your calculations indicating otherwise.  It's
nice to see it has evolved a bit since then.
