Depends on what the disklabel is supposed to mean. Does it mean what is
currently _in_ the partition? Or does it mean what _should be_ in the
partition. In my opinion newfs should just create an FFS filesystem if the
type comes back unused or empty, but it should warn you if it is already
set (using the first definition of "this is what should be there.")
