You have to do that by hand (disklabel -B). 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".
