Fdisk is only used to create slices (MBR partitions). It will not create labels.

You have to use bsd/disklabel to divide a slice in different sub-partitions. Each of these sub-partitions are defined by a starting sector (offset in bsdlabel) and a size. So just copying the offset and size and changing the label will never work. That would create two identical sub-partitions, which is not allowed.
