     Am trying to customize the disklabel on my system drive. I am trying
     to do a full install of V5.1. So I ctrl-c, go fix the disklabel and
     then do the "restart nogui". Keep getting the following result:
     
     
     Continuing installation...
     
     
     Restoring the existing disk label on device dsk0
     
     
     The installation process has failed during an attempt to update the
     disk label with new partition sizes. This error is fatal, and causes
     the installation process to stop. The following error message was
     returned from the "disklabel" command:
     
     disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: No disk label on disk; use "disklabel
     -wr"
     to install initial label
     
     #
     
     
     I know it must be something extremely trivial staring at me in the
     face and laughing hysterically but I can't figure it out. Any
     suggestions, Puhlease?
