I first fdisk'ed them and made a FreeBSD slice. But, when I go to Disklabel, and label each partition (/, /usr, /var, and swap) and write changes, it says it is newfs'ing my disk for /dev/sd0s1a and then sysinstall dies and gives me this message: panic: ufs_lock: recursive lock not expected, pid 276 syncing disks... 7 6 Done Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key to abort -- I have tried almost everything to get this to work. It is a Ultra SCSI Wide drive and runs from a Adaptec AH-2940UW. I have never had this happen before with FreeBSD. Thanks for any help you can give!
