I go through the standard installation, and set up a 100Mb root directory, a 260Mb swap directory, and a 9.5Gb /usr directory. When it gets where it's going to start installing the OS, it gives me this error: "Warning! Unable to swap /dev/ab0s2b: Device not configured. This may cause the installation to fail at some point if you don't have alot of memory." When continue i get this: "Unable to make root file system on /dev/ad0s1a! Command returned status 1." When I hit enter: "Couldn't make filesystems properly. Aborting" It then goes back to the /stand/sysinstall Main Menu. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
