To be honest, I'm quite amused that it actually worked for you, because if you use a dangerously dedicated disk you, basically, don't need a partition table at all as the slice 'table' (bsdlabel) takes care of everything. And if there's no partition table, there can be no adXs1a boot device - even in 7.2. If you got your fstab from sysinstall, I don't really know how did you manage to migrate to a DDD without modifying fstab, because sysinstall has no clue about the existence of DDDs. To get a system running on a DDD you would basically need to install BTX (using fdisk), label the drive with bsdlabel, and then dump/restore or tar c | tar x the filesystems. But according to you, until -CURRENT you had a working partition table (hence adXs1a working). And make installworld should never bother with partition tables.
