If you're doing a binary upgrade you need to specify the mount points for your slices. You do this by pressing "m" and entering the appropriate mount point for each slice in disklabel. That said, you should be aware that binary upgrades can bite you. At the very least you should backup your system before you attempt the upgrade. I would recommend doing an upgrade by building from the sources. Make sure you read /usr/src/UPGRADING before you begin.
