 Where I work I use install scripts to install onto a disk and have no problem 
 overwriting disks with existing fdisk(8) tables.  This is an excerpt of what 
 I use:
 
 # setup a FreeBSD slice
 disk=ad0
 partition=all
 bootManager=standard
 #diskInteractive=yes
 diskPartitionEditor
 
 # setup partitions in the slice
 # 512mb /
 # 1gb swap
 # 2gb /tmp
 # 2gb /var
 # 60gb /usr
 # rest /media
 #rootSize=512
 #tmpSize=2048
 #varSize=2048
 
 ad0s1-1=ufs 1048576 /
 ad0s1-2=swap 2079832 /
 ad0s1-3=ufs 4194304 /tmp 1
 ad0s1-4=ufs 4194304 /var 1
 ad0s1-5=ufs 125829120 /usr 1
 ad0s1-6=ufs 0 /media 1
 diskLabelEditor
