>Description:

        I repartitioned and labeled a slice on one of my disks (wd4s1), and
        sysinstall's Fdisk succeeded and then the Label failed the first
        time ("Invalid Argument").  Then, after I exited sysinstall and
        restarted it, Label and Newfs worked.  I repeated this procedure
        twice (Fdisk, Label, Newfs), and got the same results the second
        time around (Label after Fdisk fails; exit sysinstall; restart;
        then Label succeeds).

>How-To-Repeat:

	Included in problem description.  Start sysinstall, Fdisk, Label,
        and Newfs a data partition.  In my case at least, Label right after
        Fdisk fails.

>Fix:
	
	Exit sysinstall after Fdisk, restart, then it works.  Some
        sysinstall state seems to be corrupt the first time around.
