You're confusing the two. Last time you were talking about
Partition-4 EXTENDED, i.e. a BIOS partition i.e. a FreeBSD slice. Also, you installed different systems on them. You can't normally install multiple BSD systems on "BSD partitions" (equivalent to DOS/Windows logical partitions) within a single slice (equivalent to BIOS partition) without seriously "messing" with things.

Again, that's not the output of disklabel (bsdlabel), but of fdisk. bsdlabel would return the contents of each slice (i.e. a list of BSD partitions), e.g. ad4s1a, ad4s1d, etc.

It's the other way around. The data transfer rate is higher in the outer cylinders compared to the inner ones since they contain more sectors.
Bashrules' observation still holds.
