I get an error message when it's trying to write partitioning information. Not all device nodes are created properly, it seems. I've tried 32-bit 8.2, and it works like a charm. I've also tried 64-bit but on the slightly-older 8.1, and that works too. PC-BSD 8.2 also works without a hitch (even when installing "server only"), and even OpenBSD 4.9 works fine. So I'm thinking it's not really anything wrong with the machine, but rather perhaps the software.. Is this potentially a regression with 64-bit FreeBSD 8.2 ? Thanks, Hany p.s. I realize there's a new installer in 9 (which is built on gpart) , but a non-STABLE OS is not an option for this machine.
