myprompt$ disklabel -W /dev/ad1
disklabel: ioctl DIOCWLABEL: Operation not supported by device

HELP! I am preparing to newfs_msdos one maybe two partitions on an 8.4gb HD.

I need to be able to get past these instructions so I can eventually:

myprompt$ disklabel -R -r /dev/ad1 /tmp/disklabel.out
myprompt$ disklabel -N /dev/ad1
myprompt$ newfs_msdos /dev/ad1
