You shouldn't need a disktab entry to use the disk.  From memory,
I usually do something like:

	disklabel rzX > /tmp/dl
	disklabel -R rzX /tmp/dl
	disklabel -e rzX

The first gets the geometry and whatnot from the disk.  The second
actually writes that info as a valid disk label at the start of the
disk.  The third allows you to edit the new disklabel.  There may be an
easier way, but I've been using that method for years, both on the pmax
and other ports...
