I used dd to cover a whole new disk; bad idea.
I installed 9.1-R, and the install CD said all was OK.
Yet I was  unable to mount any of it.
fdisk seemed happy, and could read and write.
bsdlabel returned "unable to get correct path for ada0s1 (same for ada01)".

  Hearty thanks to all,  Chuck Bacon <crtb@cape.com>
