Thanks for the feedback, though it didn't work here, see what happened:
Using what you have written, I went into single user mode using sh and did:
d=sd1 #worked
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/r$d count=2 #worked
#now comes the problems
disklabel /dev/r$d | disklabel -R -r $d /dev/stdin
#I dropped the -B because this is not going to be a boot drive.
sd1: invalid primary partition table: no magic
Warning, revolutions/minute 0
boot block size 0
super block size 0
line 12: 0: bad rpm
line 13: 0: ban interleave
Warning, revolutions/minute 0
#then I tried newfs just for kicks to see if it would work anyway.
newfs /dev/r${d}c
sd1: invalid primary partition table: no magic
newfs: ioctl (GDINFO): Incalid argument
newfs: /dev/rsd1c: Cant read disk libal; disk type must be specified.
What should I do now?
