Am I doing something wrong or the BETA1 installer cannot be used to 
manually create the partition scheme?

1) it doesn't accept "freebsd-swap" as partition type ("invalid argument")
2) it doesn't recognize that I have actually created a root (/) mount 
point; since it doesn't show mountpoints maybe it forgets the input from 
the dialog?

The partition editor looks very rudimentary and feature-less. It really 
should show "space left" on the drive.
