You don't need /etc/disktab for SCSI drives; the information is
extracted from the disks. If you just type:
# disklabel sd0
you get a prototype disklabel. To write the proto label to your disk:
# disklabel sd0 > gurka
# disklabel -R -r sd0 gurka
will write the label to your disk. To edit the label:
# disklabel -e -r sd0
jumps into your favourite editor. A simpler editing way is:
# disklabel -i sd0
which jumps into an interactive label modifier.
