What you are calling reconfigure looks like re-install to me from your post.
At this point I would run a dd=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada0 bs=1M
This will wipe the disk by writing zeros to it. Then re-install.
 
The problem occurs only when we install the system and the disk system has already been plus to change the size of partitions. In this case, a new installation does not work correctly with the disk. It's like with the addition of partity on the same disk in FreeBSD 9.3 or 10.3. Never tried? Try.
 
Sorry. "Reconfiguration" in my head only.
Of course there are other trivial ways.
For example in live-mode
gpart delete -i {1,2,3,4,5,} ada0
gpart destroy ada0
