I'm trying to install 3.4 on the third slice of a system that has -current installed on the second slice. During the "partition" phrase, I verify that the system believes the third slice ends before cylinder 1024, change it to a FreeBSD slice, and then go to label. Trying to create a root file system always fails with a message about the FreeBSD boot loader not being able to deal with such a root partition, and I should either make it smaller or move the root partition. Making the root partition 1 cylinder doesn't help. Since I'm not using the FreeBSD boot loader, this is particularly galling. So, given that I'm not running into the 1024 cylinder problem, what else might be causing my problems? And how do I get around it.
