Close your email program for a second and stop typing alrady. Use your brain! Ok, so you get an error and the error tells you that something exists already. It says "geom 'ad4'" and not "device 'ad4'", so let's not take "File exists" literally and wonder if it's /dev/ad4. A simple ls(1) should eliminate any doubts there. So, maybe there's already some partitioning on the disk? Hmmm, how to find that out. Tough one...
