Ian, I think the problem that you're having is that you are updating the
'in-core' version of the disk label, but not the physical label.  Use the
"disklabel -r target_disk" syntax to see what the real disklabel is on the
disk.  The other problem that I can think of you may having is that you are
writing the label to a place that the boot blocks do not know to look for
it.  Read the FAQ for very complete details on how to write disk labels.  I
had these problems when writing to HP300 and i386 disks about 1.5 years
ago.
