First, create a new GUID Partition Table partition scheme on the HDD:
gpart create -s GPT ad0
Let's see how much space we have. This output will be used to determine
SOMEVALUE in the next command.
gpart show
Create a new partition within that scheme:
gpart add -b 34 -s SOMEVALUE -t freebsd-zfs ad0
Now, label the thing:
glabel label -v disk00 /dev/ad0
That command will destroy secondary GPT.
I was just reading about GUID partitioning last night and saw that one of
the benefits is that there's a copy of the partition table kept at the end
of the disk. That seems like a pretty neat feature.
Do you by any chance have a reference I can point to (I was documenting
stuff about GPT in an internal wiki and this is a nice piece of info to
have)?
Also, how does one access/use the "backup" partition table?
Thanks,

Or, is this more appropriate?
glabel label -v disk00 /dev/ad0s1
