Thank you.  I had tried that before posting, but was getting the  
device name wrong: /dev/ad0

After seeing your response, I persisted with bsdlabel and found that


   bsdlabel /dev/ad0s1

did exactly what I wanted.

I had "slice" and "partition" backwards.  It's very clear in the  
handbook, but I hadn't read that part since I originally partitioned  
the device and some how got it backwards.

Cheers,
