This never was a problem with 4.x as far as I can remember...? (After first discovering this, I figured maybe if I left the pre-existing b partition as , the install scripts would be smart enough to use it as swap. No way. And after the scripts complained, and I had been back through the disklabel editor again, installation failed with Error mounting /mnt/dev/ad0s3f on /mnt/usr: No such file or directory while the other console said newfs:/mnt/dev/ad0s3f: No such file or directory After which it went ahead and installed anyway, only to fill up the root file system, of course. But this problem went away when I tried again after a reboot, so that is a minor issue.) - Harald To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
