And yet more...

# /sbin/fsck /dev/rrd2a
** /dev/rrd2a

CANNOT READ: BLK 28592
CONTINUE? [yn] y

THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 28592, 28593, 28594, 28595,
Floating exception (core dumped)

That's what I get after rebooting a system with options OLD_DISKLABEL on 
a 7958 freshly labeled with /sbin/disklabel.

A kernel without OLD_DISKLABEL happily reports that no disklabel exists 
on the same disk if it's labeled and rebooted.

The interesting bit is, I can label the disk, newfs, fsck, mount, and 
modify the filesystem as long as I don't reboot, with either kernel...

Hmmm...
