Hello,

this might have something to do with the 1024th cylinder issue.
You might try to create a small (100-200MB) second partition which
contains just the root mount point of Freebsd 3.4.
On the third partition you install the whole 4.1.
On the forth partition you install the rest (swap, /usr, ...) of 3.4.
(Maybe you can share the swap space of 3.4 and 4.1.)
