If you're doing a binary upgrade you need to specify the mount points for y= our=20 slices. You do this by pressing "m" and entering the appropriate mount poin= t=20 for each slice in disklabel. That said, you should be aware that binary=20 upgrades can bite you. At the very least you should backup your system befo= re=20 you attempt the upgrade. I would recommend doing an upgrade by building fro= m=20 the sources. Make sure you read /usr/src/UPGRADING before you begin.
