So, the disk has actually been disklabeled with that label (or, that
label is actually on the disk already, however that may have come about)?

could you run that newfs under ktrace (i.e. 'ktrace newfs
/dev/rsd2a'), and send me the output of kdump and ls -l /dev/{,r}sd2?.

Also, a bit more information about your setup (e.g. 'dmesg' output)
would probably help a bit...
