>Environment:

FreeBSD disk as been installed by sysinstall (from the 950210-SNAP).

>Description:

When trying to install a new bootstrap program on a disk that has been
installed by sysinstall, disklabel(8) spits out two messages:

warning: revolutions/minute: 0
super block size: 0

and refuses to install the new boot program.
On another disk, the warning has been

partition d: extends past end of unit

we all know *why* this is, but disklabel should not refuse to work.

>How-To-Repeat:

Run ``disklabel -B <disk>'' on a disk that has been initialized by
sysinstall.

>Fix:
	
Not yet known.  The problem can be worked around by running disklabel -e
and fixing the values for rpm and interleave.
