Where can I find a set of instruction for the use of disklabel?

I've got the reboot-loop problem in Tiny-386bsd, after what looks like
a happy install on a 386 clone with an Ultrastor IDE controller.


Every attempt to access the hard (for example fsck) disk results in a 
bad disk label error and sure enough, everything in the disk label is zero.

The 386bsd partition is next to a dos5 partition (which I understand can
be a problem) which I'd rather not move.

If building a disklabel manually is madness what's the answer?
