amd64 and sysinstall weirdness

boot from disc01 into sysinstall, do our regular setup, reboot, and df shows only / and /devfs.  f

stab has /usr and /var missing.

so we go into sysinstall, slices are correct:

but labels:

ufsid/4a72<none>b432c4 5114MB *
mfid0s2b  swap         2047MB SWAP

.. the /usr and /var mount points were "lost".  

fstab:

cat /etc/fstab
# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
/dev/mfid0s2b           none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/ufsid/4a72bbc67db432c4a            /               ufs     rw              1       1
/dev/acd0               /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0

we saw the /var and /usr filesystems were really there, so we added to fstab:

/dev/mfid0s3            /usr            ufs     rw      2       2
/dev/mfid0s4            /var            ufs     rw      2       2

and rebooted, all seems ok.

We went through this drill twice, and got the same results.

/var/run/dmesg:

Anybody know why the sysintall labels and fstab aren't showing up the way we set them up in sysinstall?

thanks
