I guess it was copied one way or another from an older example of
setting up a USB drive for the purpose of data exchange.
There is no technical reason to use 'i' there, but then again you
can do so.

Historically, BSD disklabels had 8 slots, 'a'...'h', so 'i' was
clearly not a BSD partition. When OpenBSD extended disklabels to
16 slots, 'a'...'p', things became ambiguous.
