This isn't true at last for some ports. Try it on sparc, sun3 or next68k for
example.
I guess the restriction mentionned in disklabel(5) is enforced in
each port's disksubr.c This would mean changing all disksubr.c.
We probably don't need to do it all at once, and let each disksubr.c be updated
by someone with hardware to test the change.
