Thank you for the report,


Reading "autopart failed -5", probably you chose "Auto UFS Guided Disk",

I found a problem with Auto Partitioning in CURRENT.
This should solve: <https://reviews.freebsd.org/D35033>.

However, to be sure, you could reinstall choosing "Manual" Partitioning
to understand if the cause is "nvme" or "bsdinstall".
