 If 7.2 was installed on a "dangerously dedicated" drive, then the 8.0
 sysinstall bsdlabel does not automatically recreate a standard MBR on the
 disk.  You can try to fix this by starting a fixit shell from sysinstall and
 issuing the command:
   dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad1 bs=512 count=1025
 where ad1 is the dangerously dedicated device.
 
 This corrected the issue for me.  Also, you can read more about this from
 the mailing list archives:
