Given that /stand/sysinstall causes a kernel panic during the newfs process, it would seem to me that people are using another method. When I tried to manually run disklabel I got all sorts of errors depending on what options I gave to disklabel. From "No space on device" to "bad magic number". Eventually I found that by just accepting the panic, when the system rebooted the disklabel was OK and all I needed to do was newfs the partitions. BTW the panic that sysinstall causes is "ufs_lock: recusive lock not expected" or something like that. The system is 2.2.6 stable cvsupped around 7 days ago.
