Strange. I just ran the same command on a completely different machine
and got the exact same warnings:

I had this too, until I did a zero of the drive then fdisk -i then zero
then fdisk -i.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd1c bs=1024k
...the problem seemed to be from using a FreeBSD setup drive (with 10
partitions) and then trying to simply install OBSD on this drive.
I think if I zero'd the drive 2x before install OBSD, this problem
wouldnt have happened.
