Experimenting with autoinstall(8) and predefined partition layout
templates, I was a little surprised to find that disklabel(8) apparently
does not support specifying partition sizes givin in sectors, only in
units (b,c,k,m,g,t) and/or percentages?  Am I missing out on something
obvious here?

My use case is the need to make autoinstallations that would be
installed onto (large) HDD/SSD's but with sector sized boundries such
that the installations could fit *exactly* onto, lets say 4 or 8GB
flash media.

Not the end of the world, of course. I will survive wasting a few kilo-
or megabytes. But I got curious as to why templates cannot be specified
in sectors?

This is OpenBSD 6.0.

Cheers,

Erling
