This is a known problem [1] with disklabel, given a blank drive it has
a habit of copying sector 0 to the first sector of the partition.

This is fixed in current, but disklabel needed a rototil to fix
the problem properly.

2.0 had the same problem - but didn't have the message from the
boot code, so the machine appeared to lock up.
