When you say the "default" label cooked up by the kernel" you mean what
is reported durring boot (in this case, 594216 blocks)? Thats what I have!

The entry in disktab is the same. What exactly did I do wrong in my label?

I'd like to use all (and not more) of the diskspace. I just entered
what the kernel told me a boot time, along w/ some data from disktab.

Eh?
