Oh, I failed to mention that I did install 8.2-RC1 on this
"new" machine. Time for updating.

I'll check that. Still... looks very strange. That shouldn't
be neccessary on modern FreeBSD as it hadn't been any problem
on "old-fashioned" FreeBSD.

Besides that, I'm not using GEOM for anything important, as
I keep things "old-fashioned", even mounting media is not
automated (as I do consider this a security risk). As I'm
mainly working with "outdated" stuff, I don't rely on the
latest modern technology for partitioning. :-)
