OK. (I just don't want to clog people's mailboxes unnecessarily).

Well, I'm trying to use the suggested defaults that sysinstall hands me, I'm
not trying to change anything really. sd0 indeed already has a label, because
I can currently access the FAT16 partition on it from the -current
installation on sd1. Only after adding /,/usr,/var and swap using the
``A''(uto defaults for all) option the system dies when it tries to newfs the
root partition.
Now, I have to add (not sure whether it's relevant, but I'll mention it
anyway) that I do have a BSD/OS 3.1 partition on sd1, and every time FreeBSD
mounts harddisks, I receive a warning about ignoring a bad BSD label on sd[01]
(presumably the BSD/OS one :). The awkward thing about this is that I have
been unable to have BSD/OS and FreeBSD use the same geometry on the same disk
at installation time.
Thanks again for your help!
Cheers,
