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.

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??
