ccdconfig manufactures a disklabel when you create the stripe, so you
don't need to adjust the disklabel. The subdisks must have disklabels,
and you can't use the C partition since ccd only uses partitions of type
4.2BSD.

ccds are goofy. They're not real devices. If the tutorial says to newfs
rccd then that is a problem.
My tutorial needs rewriting anyway, I'm not sure it works on 3.X anymore.
It completely ignores the existence of fdisk -e, for starters, and the
sysinstall options have moved. fdisk -e is _too_ useful.

CCD is deprecated by vinum.
