I think it's something particular about the way the 5.1-RELEASE install
works.  As I mentioned in the original post, I had 5.0-RELEASE installed
in this configuration and my dual-boot setup worked just fine. 
Subsequent source upgrades to 5.1-PRE also worked fine.  After a fresh
install of 5.1, kaboom.  I have a hunch that it has something to do with
5.1 defaulting to UFS2 and it's subsequent handling of filesystems
originally created with UFS1.  Seems to me I saw something about this on
the -current list a while ago but I don't remember the particulars.
