Unlike OpenBSD's disklabel(8) which supports up to 15 partitions, bsdlabel(8)
supports only 8 partitions (including the whole disk):

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=disklabel&sektion=8

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bsdlabel&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8.0-RELEASE&format=html

-cpghost.
