I have a newer patch, that among other enhancements, doesn't have foreign 
code. There are other FreeBSD-specific problems that I'm trying to figure 
out right now and I'm not sure if the patch in it's present form is ready 
to go upstream yet. It can be found here (p5):

  http://0xdeadc0de.net/v/parted/

This patch includes:

 - better recognition of busy (mounted) devices
 - fix cache flush on FreeBSD 6.X
 - workaround to get a new MBR reread by geom


Cheers,
Vik
