The problem that I am having is the sysinstall does not initially newfs the root partition when it comes time to start the install. It newfs' the /var and /usr partitions just fine. The system then fails because it can't create /etc, so I have to manually newfs the root partition, mount it, then run the custom install so that I can circumvent the failure of the novice install, and it finaly works. But, I'm having trouble booting, though I have not tried the -a option.
