It is better if you can reinstall your system completely, with everything properly aligned in cylinder boundries (something the new sysinstall does) but if you can't, then you can still use the old FreeBSD slices. The DOS partitions that you used to mount move out to "slice space", e.g. "sd0s1", "sd1s4", etc. Read the new documentation now available with the label editor for a more thorough description of slices!
