Comment(by mmadia):
It seems [http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/sysutils/sfdisk/
FreeBSD's sfdisk] is not the same as [http://linux.die.net/man/8/sfdisk
linux's sfdisk].
{{{
[FreeBSD]$ /usr/local/sbin/sfdisk
usage: fdisk [-n] [-d] $disk
}}}
from u-boot/Jamfile:
{{{
echo -e '$(SDIMAGE_FDISK_SCRIPT)' | $(SDIMAGE_FDISK) -f -D \
-H $(SDIMAGE_FDISK_H) -S $(SDIMAGE_FDISK_S) \
-u$(SDIMAGE_FDISK_UNIT) $(<)
}}}
Turns out FreeBSD provides a
[http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/sysutils/linuxfdisk/
sysutils/linuxfdisk/].

If you created or changed a DOS partition, /dev/foo7, say, then use dd(1)
to zero the first 512 bytes: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/foo7 bs=512 count=1
(See fdisk(8).)
