These are not real disklabels, but "faked" up from other information found
on the disk. You can verify with 

	disklabel -r sd0

which should tell you there is no real label on it.

The kernel generates the fake one usually from the MBR, which you can
view with 

	fdisk sd0

and I guess there you will see a difference.

Now to fix it you can use fdisk and change the MBR partition type, or you can
write a real disklable to the card and switch the type there. As soon as a
real disklabel is present, the kernel will stop generating fictious ones.
