>Description:

I'm trying to use <<disklabel -A -T ...>> to auto partition a disk
with most of the disk assigned to / but also with some swap.

My first attempt was:

    /    *
    swap    1G

Unfortunately "*" isn't valid.  My next attempt:

    /    1G-*
    swap    1G

created two 1G partitions (a=/, b=swap) leaving most of the disk free.
My next attempt:

    swap    1G
    /    1G-*

did assign most of the disk to /, but with a=swap and b=/ things
didn't end well.

>How-To-Repeat:


>Fix:

My workaround was to use:

    /    1G-*

and ignore swap.
