Description Heikki Suonsivu 1995-01-25 16:10:00 UTC 
disklabel -w -r a disk which doesn't have a label; kernel creates a 
dummy label with d partition as the whole disk.  Disklabel tries to use
c partition and gets "device not configured".

Fix: 

Change disklabel to use d partition by default, or modify kernel to 
create c partition as the whole disk (maybe both c and d).
How-To-Repeat: 
Install factory-fresh disk and try to disklabel it with

disklabel -w -r sd1 disktype
