You need the option to disklabel to write the in-core label
without updating the on-disk one.  Unfortunately this is in the
same set of options (ie unimplemented) as the one to write the
on-disk label without updating the in-core one.

If the disk has an mbr (sounds like it does) look into mbrlabel(8)
and dkctl(8).

Alternatively update to a very recent version of i386 current
(which will generate a default label containing the mbr partitions).
