It is kind of a pain.  I've been using FBSD since 1.0 and I've discovered the
most sure way of getting it right is to install from scratch each time(not for
snapshots!).  The disk layouts don't have to be altered, just labeled again.
This actually is usefull in a way, you certainly learn more about your system.
