There are some bugs with doing this. You might email PHK@freebsd.org
directly as the bug is felt to be in his code. Or email bde@freebsd.org
how I think is familar with the bug. I believe you can do this if you:
dd if=/dev/da0 of=/dev/da4 bs=64k skip=512
disklabel -B da4
[I could be off on the offset to skip. Others can probably correct me.]
