Writing over the disklabel sector (sector 1) gets you the EROFS error.

For "scrubbing a disk before setting a cgd" it doesn't make sense to
scrub the disklabel, you should just skip it, or just scrub the
partitions.

If you want to erase the disk later, you can use "disklabel -W" to
allow writes to the label sector and "disklabel -N" to forbid them
again.
