upgrade from 8.x to 11.x gpart shows only slice (previously mbr with nested slice)

[Moheed Ahmad]

Hi there,

I've an 8.x FreeBSD installed with Nested  FreeBSD labels within MBR. It is
all working fine.

However I upgraded to 11.x and gpart show is no more showing the same
schema. It shows only disklabel partitioning.

*After upgrade: *
