I say, r u sure, u have a partition 'e'? The bsdlabel/disklabel output does not
look like...

Maybe u should add the 'e' partition with
  bsdlabel -e twed0s1
by just adding the line
  e: 586067186 16 4.2BSD 0 0 0
in the end (I think the first 16 sectors of every slice should be reserved for
something I dont know...).

Then u may try successfully the
  newfs /dev/twed0s1e
command...

Just my 2 pennies... :-))
