i think creating separate ultrasmall partition is much cleaner method:

like my drive's partition e.

#        size    offset     fstype  [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
 a:  38987000   1024300     4.2BSD   1024  8192    90   # (Cyl. 1016*-
39693*)
 b:   1024000       300       swap                      # (Cyl.    0*-
1016*)
 c:  40011300         0     unused      0     0         # (Cyl.    0 -
39693*)
 d:  40011300         0     unused      0     0         # (Cyl.    0 -
39693*)
 e:       300         0     4.2BSD   1024  8192    16   # (Cyl.    0 - 0*)
 f:   1024000       300      MSDOS                      # (Cyl.    0*-
1016*)


I'm not using RAID here but need to have a partition not beginning at 0,
case when installboot doesn't work.
