The installer entered the devices ad4s4a till ad4s4f instead of ad4s3a till ad4s3f into the fstab file. The annoying problem that you need to mount /usr to run /rescue/vi, because it needs a file from /usr/share is also still present. This makes /rescue/vi nearly useless in my opinion and honestly, ee is really awkward to use. Regards
