>Description:
I have an amd64 freebsd machine running 6.2.  I booted the 7.0 release
installer cdrom (disk 1).  I chose the upgrade option.  During the upgrade
process it asks me to select which partitions to mount by way of the
disklabel editor.  When in the editor it does not show me all of the
partitions for my disk.  The full disk label is:

# /dev/ad4s1:
8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a:  1048576        0    4.2BSD     2048 16384     8
  b:  7799776  1048576      swap
  c: 625137282        0    unused        0     0         # "raw" part, don't edit
  d:  5996544  8848352    4.2BSD     2048 16384 28528
  e:  1048576 14844896    4.2BSD     2048 16384     8
  f: 609243810 15893472    4.2BSD     2048 16384 28528

but in the interactive disklabel editor, the f slice doesn't show up.
If I mount /, /var and /tmp (from a,d and e) it runs a holographic shell
on vty4.  In this shell I am able to manually mount /usr from f.  So it's
not a matter of disk label incompatibilities between 6.2 and 7.0.

As a result I aborted the install process and am waiting for a resolution
before upgrading.
>How-To-Repeat:
Duplicate my partition table, boot the amd 7.0 release disk 1, select
upgrade, select packages.  The installer will place you in the disk label
editor.
>Fix:
None.

 Is this still a problem in 8.x? I have been unable to duplicate it. =
 Generally it's a good idea to use freebsd-update instead of sysinstall's =
 upgrade function, as it will soon be going away (or at least hidden and =
 renamed).=

 I havent updated to 8.x yet and I will most likely be using
 the freebsd-update mechanism when I do.
