Ah yes, this is undocumented.
It always worked that one could specify the disk type as an
additional argument. The code is still there, look for
                if (disktype == NULL)
                        disktype = argv[1];
in newfs.c, so it _should_ still work.
(Obviously, there is a bug in the disklabel code which is only
revealed by another - new - bug in newfs...)
