The disklabel on the disk apparently doesn't know about the DOS partition
yet. It may be in the MBR, but that's not where the information is taken
from. What you need to do is edit the disklabel for that disk, and
create an entry of type 'MSDOS'. Figure out the start end sectors
of the DOS partitions (you can use 'fdisk'), do 'disklabel -e wd0',
create the partition, and try again. Be careful with disklabel, don't
touch other partitions. You can use the first available partition after
'd', this is usually 'f'.
