The HP desktop ate up 3 partitions, I inconveniently forgot that geom can't grok secondary PC MBR partitions, was fooling around and cleared the partitions, etc. I hit abort to exit the partitioner start and from scratch and now my Windows partitions and recovery partitions are gone. So, oops... just a word of warning for anyone else that monkeys around with bsdinstall that it doesn't always hold true to the "will apply changes at Exit" guarantee right now (i.e. atomicity is busted). If someone else has a second OS that they'd rather not lose, at least they will know to reboot their box when committing changes. I'll inspect the code sometime this weekend to trace down the annoying bug, but this is probably release gating for new users (and sadly forces me back to wanting to use sysinstall :/..).
