This doesn't need documenting. disklabel(8) knows nothing of slices. It installs labels and bootblocks on disk-like devices. Slices are just one type of disk-like device. All regular files larger than 1K and many devices are disk-like, thanks to device independence. For the bootstrap code to actual work, more is required. E.g., slices on vn "disks" are not bootable because the boot loader doesn't support vn "disks". disklabel(8) knows nothing of this limitation.
