Why so complicated? The command
# newfs /dev/ad1
will prepare the disk, assuming ad1 is the new disk. It
will create one single partition covering the whole disk,
with no slice. You can then run
# mount /dev/ad1 /mnt
to access it; /dev/ad1 is the same as /dev/ad1c, "the
whole disk".
By the way, have you tried the program
# sade
instead of sysinstall?
