in general, I try to create the partitions with gpart, add a label with

simple the wrong way but I cannot see the error.
I try to do it in the following way:

FWIW I could not partition using the FreeBSD 9.0 amd64 install DVD. I
partitioned with the PcBSDÂ 8.2 DVD and then tried to install from 9.0, but it
anyway caused partitioning issues.
After that I partitioned using FreeBSD 8.3, installed 8.3 and then updated to
9.1.

No, that is regarding traditional partitioning. But it's

Thanks Warren!
I was always under the impression that partition 3 was not to be touched as the
"raw"
partition, so figured it was best left alone.
I was mostly concerned with installing MBR so it would still be compatible with
sysinstall, although I can't really think of a terribly good reason no

That should not be necessary, or advisable. The only time it would be
