  Since I have always done just "disklabel /dev/rsd0c", I never had any
problems.  I also recently found out that I can also do "disklabel sd0"
and get the same thing.

  The -r option tells disklabel to read the disk label off the disk.  The
Amiga port does not have a true disklabel on disk, so the command is going
to fail.  Don't specify the -r option;  disklabel will then use the
in-core copy of the disk label which is created from the RDB blocks on the
disk.
