trouble with it 8(

No.  Feed the disk to fdisk -i, then disklabel it, then newfs your
filesystems.  Should take all of a minute or two, once you work out
what's going on.

It _is_ a FAQ, but nobody's written an entry for it.  Tell you what,
if you want, I'll talk you through it & you can write the entry. Deal? 8)
