bash-2.05a# disklabel -w -r da0
usage: disklabel [-r] disk
                (to read label)
       disklabel -w [-r] [-n] disk type [ packid ]
                (to write label with existing boot program)
       disklabel -e [-r] [-n] disk
                (to edit label)
       disklabel -R [-r] [-n] disk protofile
                (to restore label with existing boot program)
       disklabel -B [-n] [ -b boot1 [ -s boot2 ] ] disk [ type ]
                (to install boot program with existing label)
       disklabel -w -B [-n] [ -b boot1 [ -s boot2 ] ] disk type [ packid ]
                (to write label and boot program)
       disklabel -R -B [-n] [ -b boot1 [ -s boot2 ] ] disk protofile [
type ]
                (to restore label and boot program)
       disklabel [-NW] disk
                (to write disable/enable label)

Maybe this is why /stand/sysinstall doesn't work?
