I think you just said that

> vicbsd root# fdisk /dev/ad0
> vicbsd root# bsdlabel /dev/ad0s1

work OK, but that your problem (from a prior msg) is:

>>># fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad0
>>>fdisk: cannot open disk /dev/ad0: No such file or directory

That makes no sense.  If I understood this right, there's something
very wrong and you ought to be filing a PR about it and/or reporting
the problem on the mailing list for 5.4 development, freebsd-stable.


Also: You might rather use "boot0cfg" instead of "fdisk" as the former
allows you to configure stuff that the later doesn't.
