one thing i noticed was that after you create a partition (fdisk) the drive
you have to reboot (power off) for the drive to reread the new partition
and then the disklabel will work. Maybe it is because when freebsd boots 
up it didnt see
a valid partition on the drive so it was not configured at boot time.
