So why use them. Disklabels for ext2 and ext3 are useful abut the 
partitions can still be accessed as /dev/hda1, /dev/VolGroup00/whatever, 
or if you use "kpartx -a /dev/VolGroup00/whatever" then you can access 
/dev/mapper/whatever0, /dev/mapper/whatever1, etc.
Or did you do something too clever and use LVM instide of the OpenBSD 
DomU and need to go through extra arcanery?
