The examples section, if you have a reasonably recent (4.3 or
later I believe) system, shows you how to create a disklabel
inside a slice (i.e. NOT dangerously dedicated), and shows you
how to run fdisk to initialize a disk and then how to run
disklabel to inintialize the slice. The sequence is something
like:
fdisk -BI da0
disklabel -w -r -B da0s1 auto
disklabel -e da0s1
