This is a SCSI disk? Then you can send SCSI commands directly to the drive
which overwrite sector 0.
I found a small test program to become famliar with USCSI I wrote a long time
ago. It can also be used to overwrite the label:

At least it still compiles. But I don't have any SCSI drive, so I cannot test.
Simply compile with "make disk". Then call the program with the following
options:
./disk -u -w c0t0d0s2
This will start writing the disk starting at sector 0. You can abort after a
few seconds. Now you should have an empty disk without any disk label.
