What does 'fdisk ad0' say the type of slice 1 is? I don't know whether or not FreeBSD just looks for a label in the slice anyway, regardless of its type. If the first slice has type 165, try changing it to 6 with fdisk. To remove the disklabel, you could just zero it with dd: dd if=/dev/zero count=1 seek=1 of=/dev/ad0s1 That overwrites the second sector of the first slice, which is where the ad0s1 disklabel is located.
