The help text for straight MBR partitioning (which has never worked for 
FreeBSD) has been modified for BETA2 to suggest "freebsd" (which has 
always been the default) instead of "freebsd-ufs" etc.

It does let you set mountpoints, and displays them, and always has, but 
not for bsdlabel container partitions (MBR type "freebsd"), since they 
aren't filesystems. Is this what you were trying to do?
