Thank you to the folks that have been trying to help.
I'm still running into problems getting the bloody thing mounted.
This is a listing of what the system is aware of and why:

***** Error message after typing 'newfs /dev/wd2s1e'
newfs: /dev/wd2s1e: No such file or directory

This error occurs yet the disklabel is built as suggested:

# /dev/rwd2c:
type: ESDI
disk: wd2s1
label: 
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 64
sectors/cylinder: 4032
cylinders: 525
sectors/unit: 2120769
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0		# milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0	# milliseconds
drivedata: 0 

8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  c:  2120769        0    4.2BSD        0     0     0 	# (Cyl.    0 - 525*)
  e:  2120769        0    4.2BSD        0     0     0 	# (Cyl.    0 - 525*)

******* Working on device /dev/rwd2 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=526 heads=64 sectors/track=63 (4032 blks/cyl)

parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=526 heads=64 sectors/track=63 (4032 blks/cyl)

Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 0 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 63, size 2120769 (1035 Meg), flag 80
	beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
	end: cyl 525/ sector 63/ head 63
The data for partition 1 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>

This is a discrepancy to me and I don't quite understand. I'm willing to
read what ever I need to for the information, but I don't have months in
which to delay this project so I can format the dang drive!
