newfs: /dev/sd0c: open for read: Operation not supported by device

=======================

I'd like to di partition of sd0 with big root partition,
because "sysinst" can't make root partition big, I don't know why.
Anyway, I used "disklabel" command.
So I made sd0 just above.
But "newfs /dev/sd0a" complained it's read-only file system.
What's wrong with me?
