 I have experienced the same problem with 4.6-RELEASE
 while attempting to rededicate a Linux ext2fs partition
 as a FreeBSD slice.
 
 Despite having changed the partition type to FreeBSD,
 in the partition allocation screen any attempt to
 create a partition produced the error message
 
   Unable to create the partition. Too big?
 
 I was able to remedy the situation by using the Linux
 fdisk to set the partition system ID to FreeBSD.
 On restarting the installation process, I was able
 to configure the slice correctly; the error message
 did not reoccur.
 
 
 Yours
