 I note that these two problem reports appear to be reporting the same
 problem:
 
   misc/38582:
     "sysinstall sets newfs flag after changing mount point" [26 May 2002]
      http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=misc/38582
 
 
   bin/31837: "sysinstall change mountpoint" [7 Nov 2001]
     "... then ... change the mount point in the disk labeling, the newfs
     flag switch from no format to newfs !.
     http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/31837
 
 PS. Sysinstall has 2 bugs that could result in loss of over xxxxGB per
  user:
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/47384 [22 Jan 2003]
    "Machine has two disks, ad0 (existing 5.0 system) and da0 (scratch
    disk).  Selecting da0 as the target for 'partition' and then
    following that by the sequence 'label/distribution/commit'
    results in a wiped ad0."
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/29375
     "the disk editor used by /stand/sysinstall gets confused by
      slices that are not labelled in order and writes the
      partition table incorrectly."
