Welcome to the insanity that is in-band disklabel geometry information.

Compile up a kernel with "options INSECURE".

Boot that into single-user and 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdNc count=1 bs=64k'
This will destroy the old (bogus 1.4MB) disklabel.

Reboot with a normal kernel and set up the disk from scratch.

(This is not the only way to do it, of course.)
