>Description:

	Something pretty bad just happened to "wd" disks.  I don't recall 
	seeing a heads-up that disklabels were about to change in some
	serious way.

	tmpfs doesn't mount

	fdisk doesn't read wd0

	$ disklabel wd0
	disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Inappropriate ioctl for device

	$ fdisk wd0
	fdisk: DIOCGDEFLABEL: Inappropriate ioctl for device
	fdisk: DIOCGDINFO: Inappropriate ioctl for device

>How-To-Repeat:
	type the above commands.
	
>Fix:
	none supplied
