I have some weird Scottish disks (actually only one now as the other broke
down a few months ago).  Anyway, just before my disk with the OS blew up,
I figured out how to disklabel the other.  In my case it was sufficient to
get rid of the label in /etc/* (i can't remember the name now). 

This isn't of much help becuase I never really fiugred out why this was
so, but you should go look in /etc/disktab (thats it) and see if anything
looks funny.
