You overwrote things you shouldn't have when newfs'ing with offset=0. Scribble some zeros over the start of the disk (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd1c count=1k is more than enough), reboot (I can't remember if this is needed, but it doesn't hurt), fdisk -i wd1, disklabel -E wd1 (gives you the interactive editor from the installer which suggests the correct offset), newfs.
