With the advent of the slice code, all references inside the FreeBSD
disklabel to disk areas outside the FreeBSD slice are being rejected.
(Most likely, you still have the old and now unneeded `d' pseudo-
partition around.)
Further, the `c' pseudo-partition is now relative to the start of the
slice, i.e. it must start at offset 0, and cover exactly the entire
slice. Similarly, the remaining partitions must be relative to the
start of the slice, instead of to the entire disk.

Would be fine if you corrected your header address. (Fortunately, the
.sig did contain yet an address.)
