All instructions failed. Is there a way to mount a linux partition or
USB-stick and to redirect the output of the gpart commands to a log
file?
In linux after mounting a partition or usb-stick I would do it like
that:
spinymouse@q:~$ echo $ ls -l logfile
spinymouse@q:~$ ls -l logfile

In linux after mounting a partition or

I use the amd64 install DVD.
With or without deleting, I can't format a bootable FreeBSD partition to
ada0s1, aka Linux /dev/sda1. FWIW if I reinstall GRUB legacy
to /dev/sda, the boot flag will be set for the extended
partition. /dev/sda1 is an empty ext3 partition, size 57.83 GiB.

You mention ada0s1. This is not a partition. It's called
a slice (different term: DOS primary partition).
