FDISK under DOS shows the total FreeBSD partition (but it can't show the slices for /, /usr, /swap), but the FreeBSD utility under stand/sysinstall only shows the Primary DOS partition. >disklabel will show you the partitions in a slice. It doesn't. All it shows is the DOS partition. I'm led to believe the 4.1 installer does not work with the 3.4 partitioning. This leads me to ask another question, if I upgrade to 4.1 from source (without using stand/sysinstall) will the 4.1 filesystem work on my disk??
