Remember that the "a" and "c" partitions include a fudge factor for the
disk label.  Chpt may be "protecting" you by not letting you overlay the
disk label with some random partition.

As others have pointed out, the "c" partition is already set up to define
the entire usable disk.  Make sure you avoid either explicit or implicit
(swap area) overlaps...
