The following recently came through one of the NetBSD lists. It would seem
to directly apply to what you want to do, with the probable exception that
you'll want to use whatever your disk is, if it's not found at sd2.

disklabel -t sd2 >>/etc/disktab
then you should edit /etc/disktab manually (to change disk name at
least) and write initial disklabel with
disklabel -wr sd2 YOUR-DISK-NAME-IN-DISKTAB
after that you could easy edit existing disklabel with
disklabel -e sd2
