... at least for anyone automating an install as part of a virtual
test framework; and finding that the default partition size for
/usr/src was too small :-( :-)
(for what it's worth, the other "disks" are NFS and are added later so
don't appear in dmesg; and I habitually delete dmesg)

Here's some of the text from disklabel(8)
[...] giving mount point, min-max size range, and percentage of disk,
space-separated. Max can be unlimited by specifying '*'. If only mount
point and min size are given, the partition is created with that exact
size.
from my POV, an example clarifying this would have helped.
take care
