Well, I'm trying to use the suggested defaults that sysinstall hands me, I'm not trying to change anything really. sd0 indeed already has a label, because I can currently access the FAT16 partition on it from the -current installation on sd1. Only after adding /,/usr,/var and swap using the ``A''(uto defaults for all) option the system dies when it tries to newfs the root partition. Now, I have to add (not sure whether it's relevant, but I'll mention it anyway) that I do have a BSD/OS 3.1 partition on sd1, and every time FreeBSD mounts harddisks, I receive a warning about ignoring a bad BSD label on sd[01] (presumably the BSD/OS one :). The awkward thing about this is that I have been unable to have BSD/OS and FreeBSD use the same geometry on the same disk at installation time. Thanks again for your help!
