I'd do something like this:
dd miniroot onto swap
boot single user from swap
^C in install
disklabel sd0 > /tmp/somefile
Do not do a disklabel -r here, the information on disk
is probably wrong.
look at /tmp/somefile, edit if necessary
disklabel -R -B sd0 /tmp/somefile
Then continue with install
Actually a bit hard to tell will do the trick in the end.
Harald.
