Corrupted partition table

Hi list,

recently I installed DFly 1.0A from a CDROM on a fresh disk for some 
testing purposes. The first partition/slice contained Windows; I used 
the installer to deploy DFly on /dev/ad0s2. There haven't been any 
installer-errors throughout the whole process.
After rebooting the machine, the only thing i saw was an BTX loader 
error-message. The loader knew about the two systems (DOS/BSD) on 
disk. While checking the installation again with the live-CD, fdisk -i 
showed me all partitons except the last one empty and without any 
label. Slice 4 had a DragonFly disklabel and the size I gave ad0s2.
Quite magic. Please ask, if you need more information regarding the issue.

Thanks in advance
/Markus
