+ * Device descriptor for partitioned disks. We assume that all disk addresses
+ * are 512 byte block offsets from the start of the disk. To use, set the
+ * d_slice and d_partition variables as follows:
+ *
+ * Whole disk access:
+ *
+ * d_slice = -1
+ * d_partition = -1
+ *
+ * Whole MBR slice:
+ *
+ * d_slice = MBR slice number (typically 1..4)
+ * d_partition = -1
+ *
+ * BSD disklabel partition within an MBR slice:
+ *
+ * d_slice = MBR slice number (typically 1..4)
+ * d_partition = disklabel partition (typically 0..7)
+ *
+ * GPT partition:
+ *
+ * d_slice = GPT partition number (typically 1..N)
+ * d_partition = 255
+ *
+ * For both MBR and GPT, to automatically find the 'best' slice or partition,
+ * set d_slice to zero. This uses the partition type to decide which partition
+ * to use according to the following list of preferences:
+ *
+ * FreeBSD (active)
+ * FreeBSD (inactive)
+ * Linux (active)
+ * Linux (inactive)
+ * DOS/Windows (active)
+ * DOS/Windows (inactive)
+ *
+ * Active MBR slices (marked as bootable) are preferred over inactive. GPT
+ * doesn't have the concept of active/inactive partitions. In both MBR and GPT,
+ * if there are multiple slices/partitions of a given type, the first one
+ * is chosen.
+ *
+ * The low-level disk device will typically call slice_open() from its open
+ * method to interpret the disk partition tables according to the rules above.
+ * This will initialize d_offset to the block offset of the start of the
+ * selected partition - this offset should be added to the offset passed to
+ * the device's strategy method.
