Can't use disklabel on RZ28

Here's an odd one. I inherited an RZ28-VA, and I can't rewrite the
partition table. disklabel says the partition is in use, even when
it's clearly impossible.

a: 1012095 32130 resrvd8 (Cyl. 2 - 64)
b: 562275 1044225 resrvd8 (Cyl. 65 - 99)
c: 2490075 1606500 resrvd8 (Cyl. 100 - 254)

Four different errors: partition open/in use; partition doesn't
start at block 0; disklabel could not be updated; partition in
use, can't modify. (Approximations; I can't copy the exact text
to this screen easily.)

disklabel -z rz2
        not block 0

disklabel -e rz2 # to move 'a' to start at block 0
        in use, can't modify

disklabel -sF rz2a unused
        could not be updated

disklabel -wrn rz2 RZ28
        partition open/in use

Any ideas? I didn't see anything in the archives, but I might have
missed it..
