(I'm new to freebsd-install, please forgive me if this point has already been raised.) When the installation program is reporting progress, such as newfs commands, it prints each one in its own dialog box, erasing the previous one, often too fast for the eye to follow. May I suggest that when reporting progress through several commands you use a single window and show the commands one after another? Windows are all very well, but using only 5% of the screen to display information is not a good thing.
