The following reply was made to PR misc/7190; it has been noted by GNATS.

System now boots without any problems. The propper fix is to change sysinstall. It shall not mark a new slice active unless it would be the only active one. Then it will work. I'll take a look into its source and try to get a simple and under- standable fix ready.
