Different and mostly harmful (as per UPDATING, 20090320) problem.

bsdlabel is run on the 7.x, I suppose. That's expected that it will
be consistent with sysinstall.

No, the problem is that bsdlabel is missing the so-called "MBR offset"
=66rom GEOM, because in 8.x GEOM_PART_* are used and they have no such
geom verb (and anyway, 8.x's bsdlabel queries BSD geoms for it, not the
PART_BSD ones). You'll need to patch bsdlabel (on 8.x) with the patch I
had posted to this thread earlier today (and expanded patch, that should
not make a difference for your setup, will be posted a bit later).
If you'll happen to test the patch, please, report back.
