I think R. Nordier mentioned in another Email that you don't have
the new boot blocks installed. I thought I had them installed
also, but "disklabel -B {da0|wd0}" alone won't do it, as it will
install the default boot blocks from /usr/mdec (I assume that at
some point disklabel will be changed?).
Here's what worked for me:
disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 /dev/da0s3c
where FreeBSD exists on my third partition. I'm not sure
if disklabel is smart enough to work with "da0" as the
disk in this case.
BTW, a make aout-to-elf-install works with CVS checked
out from date "December 18, 1998".
