Does FreeBSD start slices at head boundaries?

i use only disklabel, no fdisk at all. i put partition start sector where 
i want - no align problems.

I did not use gpart for now in production as i have no >2TB disk where i 
want to do partition at all.

Actually i've got quite a few 3TB disks recently but there are no both 
gpart, fdisk or disklabels on them, just single full disk(*) filesystem 
for user data.

* - actually gmirror of 3 disks.
