As posted earlier, there seems to be "funny stuff" on my ufs disklabel too:
# disklabel -r /dev/ad0s1

8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a:   204800       63    4.2BSD        0     0     0   # (Cyl.    0*- 12*)
  b:   393216   204863      swap                        # (Cyl.   12*- 37*)
  c: 13912227       63    unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0*- 865*)
  e: 13314211   598079    4.2BSD        0     0     0   # (Cyl.   37*- 865*)

Should I worry about that?

As for the ext2fs partition: I can probably live with it.  But it may
bite more people after the -RELEASE....

Not sure whether this information is relevant, but the ext2 partition
was originally a UFS partition.  A few months ago I changed it to ext2
with freebsd 4.x's fdisk and then newfs'd with the linux mke2fs binary
under linux emulation (FreeBSD 4.x, again).  I then wrote a gentoo
bootstrap filesystem to it and was able to boot it via grub.  It's
worked fine since then (I haven't messed with it again under freebsd,
and it's mostly been mounted read-only).
