Through the command line (CLI) with these commands: (Replace /dev/ad2 with appriopriate entry)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad2 count=2
disklabel /dev/ad2 | disklabel -B -R -r ad2 /dev/stdin
#Multiple partitions
disklabel /dev/ad2 > /tmp/label
Edit disklabel to add partitions: vi /tmp/label
#Assuming only one partition
newfs /dev/ad2c
