Did you actually try gpart? GEOM prevents writes to providers that

just that fdisk doesn't understand GEOM.
# gpart set -a active -i 1 ada0
If that fails, the provider is in use, usually mounted. The safety
can be disabled, but it's better to figure out what has it in use.
Yes it is the hard drive with mounted /. But changing the active slice
should be safe in any case.
gpart worked.
This safety feature is protecting people from themselves. Sounds very
familiar.
Thanks!
