Good news: You can still use sysinstall from the console after installation. As root, execute '/stand/sysinstall'. Select 'Index' from the menu. From there you can select various administrative tasks, including the creating partitions and disklabel-ing. Note: When you created slices and using disklabel during installation, you entered 'q' to quit rather than 'w' for write. When doing these tasks post-installation, you will need to use 'w' for write. Therefore, be very careful of the changes you make prior to pressing 'w'.
