This error isn't new, it just, well, doesn't happen very
often:
kern/subr_diskslice.c:
| static char *
| fixlabel(sname, sp, lp, writeflag)
[...]
| /* These errors "can't happen" so don't bother reporting details. */
| if (lp->d_magic != DISKMAGIC || lp->d_magic2 != DISKMAGIC)
| return ("fixlabel: invalid magic");
Prior reports seem to indicate this fails if non-ufs slices
somehow got themselves a disklabel.
According to <URL:http://makeashorterlink.com/?S37C2186B>[1]
a workaround might be using
dd if=/dev/foo of=/dev/ad0 oseek=63
HTH,
