disklabel

I would like to multi-boot FreeBSD[13.1-RESEASE], OpenBSD[7.1] and Debian[sid] on my SSD. Before doing it on physical disks, I tried it on VirtualBox on my FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE. I installed OpenBSD on ada0p4 with full disk encryption. To do/practice it twice, I booted into FreeBSD, delete and...
