I'd do something like this:
	dd miniroot onto swap
	boot single user from swap
	^C in install
	disklabel sd0 > /tmp/somefile
	Do not do a disklabel -r here, the information on disk
	is probably wrong.
	look at /tmp/somefile, edit if necessary
	disklabel -R -B sd0 /tmp/somefile
	Then continue with install

Actually a bit hard to tell will do the trick in the end.

Harald.
