Trying to install FBSD 8.0-snapshot 200906 on 73GB HP scsi disks:
da0 at mpt0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <HP 73.4G ST373454LC HPC2> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device
da0: 320.000MB/s transfers (160.000MHz, offset 63, 16bit)
da0: Command Queueing Enabled
da0: 70007MB (143374738 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 8924C)
da1 at mpt0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
da1: <HP 73.4G ST373454LC HPC2> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device
da1: 320.000MB/s transfers (160.000MHz, offset 63, 16bit)
da1: Command Queueing Enabled
da1: 70007MB (143374738 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 8924C)
and partition name appears only as "X" in disklabel editor:
FreeBSD Disklabel Editor
Disk: da0 Free: 0 blocks (0MB)
Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs
---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- -----
X /efi 100MB EFI Y
X / 512MB UFS2 Y
X swap 4055MB SWAP
X /var 3051MB UFS2+S Y
X /tmp 512MB UFS2+S Y
X /usr 61776MB UFS2+S Y
automatic or manual - doesn't matter, all partitions are named X,
and the installation fails with "cannot create partition /dev/X" or
similar.
With some seagate 17GB disks works fine.
Please advise
