bsdlabel messages?

[Jay O'Brien]

What is bsdlabel trying to tell me? This is the display from 
bsdlabel ad0s1a. I also have ad1 and ad2; they also give the 
same errors. Outputs from bsdlabel and uname are below.

The system seems to be running ok; a second machine, also 
running 5.3-RELEASE, exhibits the same behavior.
