I had already been able to go so far as to "disklabel -w -r ad3 auto".
After doing this
on a 4.X system I would then "disklabel -e /dev/ad3s1c", but /dev/ad3s1c
does
not exist, so I am stuck. Maybe there is a "rescan devices" command?
fdisk thinks it has no work to do:
******* Working on device /dev/ad3 *******
[...]
Information from DOS bootblock is:

beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 15/ sector 63
