I was able to get a real label written using 'disklabel -R -r sd0' and
a label file from a similar disk, but is that how it really should be
done?  That seems like a good way to set up a bunch of identical
disks, but sub-optimal for just adding one new drive-- you'd have to
save the fictitious disklabel to a file just to write it to the disk...
