Thanks for your reply Matt.
Here are the steps that i followed from command line (after
logging as root).
# disklabel64 -W ad4s2
# fdisk -B -I ad4
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad4s2 bs=512 count=32
# disklabel64 -B -r -w ad4s2 auto
Now, while i donot see the error message mentioned above, but
on executing each command the following message is seen:
ad4s2: cannot find label (no disk label).
>>> Exit status: 0
The installer continues ahead, but on reboot, the boot loader
stalls with the message 'no ufs partition' !
