At the end of the installer I went to the console to add swap space, starti= ng with "gpart destroy da0" (it contained an NTFS partition). gpart says "Devi= ce busy". So I rebooted and after the first bootup I retried. Still "Device busy". Rebooted a third time. Device still "busy". Then I zeroed the first gigabyte of da0 using dd. After this, "gpart show" = did not list da0 anymore. Now "gpart destroy da0" resulted in "gpart: arg0 'da0': Invalid argument". However, "gpart create -s GPT da0" now succeeded "da0 created". I guess this bug only occurs if the system is being installed not on da0 bu= t on da1 or higher. So it could probably be reproduced by installing FreeBSD onto da1+ and then attempting to manually repartition da0. Hope this helps. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
