and you gen mix of new and old system, with all files appearing that are 
on fresh install but not on old system.


why to make things so complicated while it is so simple.

start livecd then

man bsdlabel
man newfs
man restore


fdisk is unneeded at all if there is only *BSD on disk. and less mess with 
all these s1/s2/s3/s4 in names
