"unknown" or "unused"
On my virtual 11 I see disklabel report:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize]
a: 16720 0 2.11BSD 1024 1024 # (Cyl. 0 - 39)
b: 8360 16720 swap # (Cyl. 40 - 59)
c: 340670 0 unused 1024 1024 # (Cyl. 0 - 814)
h: 315590 25080 2.11BSD 1024 1024 # (Cyl. 60 - 814)

Ah, that says something is corrupt somewhere.
If you look at /usr/include/sys/disklabel.h you'll see the
table of filesystem types:
static char *fstypenames[] = {
"unused",
"swap",
"Version 6",
"Version 7",
"System V",
"2.11BSD",
"Eighth Edition",
"4.2BSD",
"MSDOS",
"4.4LFS",
"unknown",
"HPFS",
"ISO9660",
0
};
So for 'unknown' to appear there would need to be a 10 in the type
field instead of a 5 (for "2.11BSD"). 'unused' is a 0 obviously.
Try booting up a standalone disklabel and see what it says without
a kernel getting involved.
