Hmm.  What was installed on the disk previously?

The next thing I'd try is:

	# disklabel -r rz0

although I dunno if that'd be any different.  One sure way is clear out
the current disklabel with something like:

	# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rrz0c bs=512 count=16
	# disklabel -r rz0

I guessed from the first mention of "1.3GB" that this might be the case :-)
