With recent -current I start getting error messages from disklabel (cited 
below) on every operation with the boot or the label. I never saw them 
before. What they actually mean and what should be done?

# /dev/ad6s1:
8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a: 43229184       63    4.2BSD     2048 16384     0 
  b:  2459613 43229247      swap                    
  c: 45688797       63    unused        0     0         # "raw" part, don't edit
partition b: partition extends past end of unit
partition c: partition extends past end of unit
disklabel: partition c doesn't start at 0!
disklabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities

fdisk information included:
