Original question is enclosed bellow.

I have repartitioned disc in following steps and mountaded fs in following steps

1. disklabel -e /dev/rrz27c to make all partitions unused
and than
2. disklabel -e rz27 to label, according to new requirements.

3. newfs /dev/rrz27x to construct a new fs

4. mount /dev/rz27x /dir.name

Best regards
