I know English bad ... let me see ... what "virgin" mean ... See!
disklabel CAN create a virgin disklabel on a slice. Period.
just supply the real entry from disktab.
For example
disklabel -r -w ad0sX fd360
disklabel -e ad0sX
works in any case. Yes, it is hack, I understand.
And I use about 20 my own entryes in disktab for
all slise sizes I ever use.
This is not stright, but not annoy.
What is real annoyance:
it is impossible to read label twice if more then one label
are present on a disk in DD mode.
It is very bad because of bug in kernel, not userland.
