from the 9.0R release notes:
3.2.6 Disk Partition Management Utilities
In earlier releases various utilities were available to manage disk
partition information. They are deprecated in favor of the gpart(8)
<http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gpart&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASE>
utility. Specifically, the fdisk(8)
<http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=fdisk&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASE>,
disklabel(8)
<http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=disklabel&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASE>
bsdlabel(8)
<http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bsdlabel&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASE>,
and sunlabel(8)
<http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sunlabel&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASE>
utilities are no longer supported actively though these are still
available for backward compatibility.

What part of the Handbook? I would suggest using gpart(8), it
makes GPT partitions easy, and nasty old MBR partitions aren't any
worse than with fdisk/bsdlabel.
19.3.2
That's the Storage chapter, section "Command Line Utilities". That
is yet another section that needs updating. In the meantime, here:
I was making some notes as I went along about that.
I did decide to switch, thanks.

The second half of that covers using gpart(8). I suggest using GPT
partitions unless your configuration does not allow them (gmirror,
for example).
Probably should have read mail sooner...
I found the wikipedia article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table
exactly what I needed to make sense of gpart.
Once you understand how the dang thing is laid out,
the commands make sense.
Without that, it's pretty difficult (for me, anyway) to figure out
how it knows what it needs to know to get it done.
Thanks
