(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.

Thanks for your time.
