It says "invalid partition table" because there is no pre-existing
partition table on the disk.  This will not show up again if you run
'fdisk -I ad6' a second time.

I don't know what "Geom not found" comes from (a bug in either fdisk
or libgeom?) but it seems to be harmless as well; fdisk ignores the
error and goes on to write the updated MBR to the disk.
