That should not happen. :)

Try the following in preparation, to clean out old dirt first:

	dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd2 count=100

Also, do add the -B flag to the disklabel command, even if you're
never going to boot off it.  It will prevent the kernel from pestering
you with silly warnings later.
