The selected packages are kernel, base and ports. The 3GB HDD is freebsd dedicated and partitioning using Guided Mode with Auto Options provided by bsdinstall. >How-To-Repeat: 1. prepare a 3GB hard disk virtual machine. 2. boot with 9.0-RELEASE (i386) iso image 3. start bsdinstall, select base and ports as install options 4. partitioning the disk using guided mode with auto option 5. fetching and extracting distribution files, the disk will run out of inodes installation fails. >Fix: Partition the disk maunally, run newfs with custom flags to provide more inodes. -- OR -- It is highly suggested to provide custom newfs flags support in bsdinstall (as the sysinstall does). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
