If I use /stand/sysinstall to = fdisk it and=20 disklabel it, disklabel gets so far as writing out the changes, = executing a=20 "newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/rwd2s1e" and that itself fails, returning a = mount=20 error when /stand/sysinstall tries to mount the drive. Upon exit from = this=20 situation, if I do:

su-2.03# disklabel wd2

I see:
