the standalone "disklabel" doesn't support SCSI-devices as sd(),
maybe "rom()" or "rom(0,0)" might do the job for the drive you've
booted from.
The IMHO better way is to netboot the machine and then to use the
"normal" disklabel as "disklabel ... sd0" to access the local disks
via kernel-drivers. (Which might work or not work depending on the
specific model of 3100 and the PIO/DMA kernel you're using...)
