>Description:
The output of fdisk -s does not agree with /stand/sysinstall or disklable for one of my IBM SCSI disk and maybe other.
root@ks-1:bin[131] disklabel -r /dev/rda0
# /dev/rda0:
type: SCSI

******* Working on device /dev/da0 *******
root@ks-1:bin[134] fdisk -s

Sorry no time to chase this any more right now.  Will check 4.1-R  in a day or so
>How-To-Repeat:
/bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=$dev count=128 
/sbin/fdisk -I $disk
/sbin/disklabel -r -w da0 auto  <--- will fail with can not change size of open
