Make this

  disklabel -r -w -B sd0 auto

for a new disk.  This causes disklabel(8) to bypass the kernel and use
the raw device directly.

No idea on this, i've never seen it myself.  Ah, well, why did you
use ``/dev/rsd0c''?  This is not necessary, you can say

  disklabel -e sd0

and let disklabel decide which device to use.
