The label is for the disk, not the partition. You can only read
it from e.g. wd0.

And that's where it gets futile.

1. Wedge autodiscovery doesn't know about Linux partitions. That's
   why you get reported an unknown type. This is mostly harmless.

2. fsck_ext2fs cannot handle wedges, it tries to get a disklabel
   to use the partition data. For a wedge it fails just like
   did when running the disklabel command and then exits.
