When I enter partition sizes in the bsdinstall partition editor, I sometimes get some odd results, in that the size displayed is different from what I entered. For instance, when I tried to enter 1 MB for the boot partition, it displayed the size as 20 kB. When I tried to enter 100 MB for the /usr partition, it displayed 0.7 TB. Some sizes gave negative sizes. Are these just bugs in how the size is displayed, or is there some other problem? -- T.M. Sommers -- tmsommers2@gmail.com -- ab2sb
