>Description:
When sysinstall is executed in NonInteractive mode, the command "diskPartitionEditor" create a partition with a subtype equal to 3 ( and not 165 ) for a freebsd partition. So the rest of the install fails.

>How-To-Repeat:
install.cfg must contain the following lines :

nonInteractive=YES
disk=ad0
partition=free # or partition=1024M for example
bootManager=none
diskPartitionEditor

>Fix:
Correct the /usr/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/disks.c file :
in the diskPartitionNonInteractive subroutine, change the subtype=3 in the call of Create_Chunk to the SUBTYPE_FREEBSD value, in the "free" choice and in the "partition size" choice.
