That is not the current method.

Look at the part

#ifdef CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL
/* tag first disklabel for late recognition */
if (SYS_IND(p) == BSD_PARTITION || SYS_IND(p) == NETBSD_PARTITI\
ON) {
printk("!");
if (!bsd_kdev)
bsd_kdev = MKDEV(hd->major, minor);
} else if (SYS_IND(p) == OPENBSD_PARTITION) {
printk("!");
if (!bsd_kdev) {
bsd_kdev = MKDEV(hd->major, minor);
bsd_maxpart = OPENBSD_MAXPARTITIONS;
}
}
#endif
...
#ifdef CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL
if (bsd_kdev) {
printk(" <");
bsd_disklabel_partition(hd, bsd_kdev, bsd_maxpart);
printk(" >");
}
#endif

to see that *BSD partitions are handled right.
