The system is running 6.x and/or 7.2 FreeBSD (on different drives). Disconnected rest drives and only left 7.2 drive in. ad0: 76319MB at ata0-master UDMA100 Boot 8.0-BETA3-i386-dvd1.iso and sees no partition at all on the 7.2 disk. Boot back to 7.2 and everything works fine, so system has no hardware problem. Boot 8.0-BETA3-i386-dvd1.iso again, still sees no partition, so reconfigured partition with autoconfigure - A 512M for / on /dev/ad0s1a about 4G for swap on /dev/ad0s1b about 2.2G on /var 512M for /tmp rest spaces are for /usr After commit, installation says -- Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev The Creation of file system will abort. OK [Press enter or space] Hit CR and see some other errors, then back to installation menu. Reboot the system, 7.2 is gone. Download 8.0-BETA4-i386-dvd1.iso and burned another DVD, also did verify between DVD and ISO for OK. Run installation from Beta4 DVD, the same problem presents again. If my memory is correct, either 8.0-Beta1 or one version earlier than it was working on this machine. Is anything changed that requires different installation procedure? or is this a bug introduced recently? -Jin
