I get permission denied when I try to read the label of any partition:

I've tried using freesbie live cd and unmounting all of the partitions.
What's going on?
That is not the way to read a label. Try bsdlabel /dev/ad0s1a.
If you just type the name of the device file (or any other file), the
system thinks you're trying to execute it. If you do an ls -l on the
file, you will probably see that it has no execute permissions set,
which causes the "Permission denied" that you're seeing.
HTH.
