	$generate_disklabel |
	sed 's/defaults/preferences/' |
	disklabel -R /dev/rfd0 /dev/stdin

where $generate_disklabel is either `cat <<EOF...' (to embed the
defaults in the script) or the output of `disklabel /dev/rfd0'
(all disks should have at least a dummy label; this is automatic
for drivers that use the slice interface).
