>Description:
disklabel -i raid4
disklabel: Invalid signature in mbr record 0

The disks in the raid set don't complain about invalid signature, just
the raid set itself.  The disks in a new raid set *did* complain til I
did 'fdisk -i' on each of them, but a raid5 set shouldn't need this.
Unless I'm booting off them, the individual disks shouldn't really need
this either.

An older, in production raid set also has this error message, as well
as every disk in the raid having it.  It did not have this message
until post-upgrade.  Old raid set is from 1.5-era, new raid set is
created on 1.6ZK.

>How-To-Repeat:
Create raid sets, or look at old ones.
