>Description:
During sysinstall disklabel fails to create a label on an empty disk, it seems to work if a previous label exists on a disk.

If the disk is empty, disklabel fails with 'input/output' error.

I exited sysinstall into command line and ran:

disklabel -w -r -f /tmp/disktab sd0 'mydisk'

this gave me 'input/output error'

so I ran the same command again, on the 2nd run is succeeded.
