I just ran into a surprise in the FreeBSD 9.2 installer.  Trying to =
create a separate filesystem at /usr/local/tinderbox I discovered that =
mount points in the installer are limited to 15 characters.  So all I =
can create is /usr/local/tind =85 this seems like a pretty bad UI bug.  =
Is this known?  Or intentional for some reason?
