I am getting the dreaded:

disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: Label magic number or checksum is wrong!
(disklabel or kernel is out of date?)
disklabel: unable to write label

So far all I have turned up on my searchs have to do with the partitions on
cylinder boundaries, with the newer version of disklabel, this isn't a
problem, it automaticlly rounds to the nearest cylinder.  I have also tried
manually setting the partition to a cylinder boundry as well, but no dice.

Any other ideas than the cylinder boundry thing?
