8.0 and GPT_PART and core-dump

Hello,

With 8.0, FreeBSD see my disk with several parts instead slices.
That works fine but the kernel is not able to core dump to my swap
(ad4p3a) and I can't break into the debuger (laptop with an usb
keyboard).

So I would like to revert to slices like with FreeBSD 7.2?

Thanks, regards.
