I do not enve know how to make "dangerously dedicated" disk, and the 8.0 ma=
y do this sliently.

ad0 had three DOS partitions (slices),
S1 for DOS
S2 for FreeBSD 7.2
S3 for another FreeBSD

When boot to 8.0-Beta{3, 4}, 8.0 sees not partition, which means 8.0 looked=
 at a wrong location for partition table.
After did partition (slices S1 for FreebSD and S2 for nothing) and=20
Label (Unix partitions, failed to find device node /dev/ad0s1b in /dev),
content of 7.2 is gone.

But, the original partitions are still in the MBR (S1 for DOS, and S2 and S=
3 for FreeBSD).
