Following the directions at 
http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskformat/#ch-2 
to add a hard drive to my -current,elf,CAM,SMP system

I get errors along the lines of

label: ioctl DIOCWLABEL: Operation not supported by device

The system is -current of around 1:00am 10/19/1998 PDT,
including a make world and fresh kernel.

I can report that /stand/sysinstall index/partition reports that
I have no disks.  However, the system is fully functional other
than for my attempts to add two hard drives.

I've tried the various methods listed in the help page, all fail
for various label related reasons.

here is a sample:
bls2# disklabel -r -w da1 auto
disklabel: ioctl DIOCWLABEL: Operation not supported by device


dmesg reports:
