disklabel -B installs the pseudo 50000-block fdisk table, hence you
don't have a valid slice table.  If you are mounting /dev/sd0a and
/dev/sd0h, this is okay.  However, if you're using the sysinstall-
created fstab with /dev/sd0s1h for /usr (for example), you are
stomped, even in cases where you have a dedicated disk.
