BTW...the ftp finally did complete after a number of stalls on crc errors. But, I'm wondering if I should take another run at it and try going [A]ll BSD again for partitioning.

The docs and Help screens seem to suggest this may not be the case with FreeBSD -- i.e., that it may not care. Recommendation????
