I installed 9.0 in a VM in order to test some patches, and ran into three issues with the installer: 1) I selected "guided partitioning", then deleted the / and swap partitions because I wanted more swap. I did not delete the boot partition, but the wizard complained about there being none. The first time, I answered yes to creating one, and ended up with two boot partitions, so I deleted and recreated everything, and got the same message again. This time I ignored it, and the install went just fine; bsdinstall apparently found my boot partition and wrote the boot loader to it. 2) When I recreated the boot partition, I noticed that bsdinstall does not accept "64 kB" as a valid partition size. I had to type "64KB". 3) I had the installer create a user for me, but it did not create my home directory, nor even /home. Note that this is from BETA1 - I couldn't find a BETA3 iso online, but bz had a BETA1 iso on his laptop. I apologize if these issues have already been found and fixed.
