How about:

    # make installworld
    Have you read (and printed) the document at

        http://www.freebsd.org/slice_changes.txt
    
    which explains how the disk slice naming has changed, and the impact
    this will have when you rebuild your system?

    If you have, you can now install the new system by typing

        make I_understand_the_slice_changes

That ought to do it.
