You'd guess from the man page (etc) that this would work as a method
to install a label on an unlabelled drive, but I don't think it ever has.

The method that seems to work, and work best is

	disklabel wd0 >/tmp/file
	<edit /tmp/file to make a basic label>
	disklabel -r -R wd0 /tmp/file

At that point you should have a label on the drive, than you can
then edit using disklabel -e (and other methods).

There's a chance that
	disklabel -r -i -I wd0
might work, I don't think I've ever tried that one.

ps: the disklabel man page is truly horrid.
