Eg, you want it to look something like this:

# disklabel /dev/ad2
Password:
# /dev/ad2:
type: ESDI
disk: ad0
label: 
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 255
sectors/cylinder: 16065
cylinders: 5005
sectors/unit: 80418240
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0	# milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0	# milliseconds

8 partitions:
