Well, as stated, a bsdlabel from 7.2-RELEASE does not complain.
Let's not yet assume the disk label is broken and instead look
at the tool.

John:
Can you send me the output of "gpart show da0" and "gpart show da0s1".
Could you also send me (or make available for download) a binary dump
of sectors 0 (the MBR), 63 and 64 (the disklabel in slice 1).

If it's the tool, I'll see about fixing it...

Thanks,
