I'm running two systems with 4.9-STABLE and haven't seen this problem.  I
did see this kind of thing back in the 3.X days when my HD was not
correctly detected by FreeBSD during an install.  The solution was to
create a small DOS partition on the HD and then do the install.

I've done complete re-installs for 5.1-RELEASE on two other systems and
haven't seen this, either.
