After a lot of experimenting, my impression is that sysinstall simply doesn't support multiple slice installations. It works to a point, but I get some unexpected errors, e.g. Unable to make device node for /dev/ad0s1a in /dev and after the partitioning is complete, there are funky entries under /dev: /dev/ad0c /dev/ad0cs1 /dev/ad0cs2 /dev/ad0cs3 /dev/ad0s1 /dev/ad0s2 /dev/ad0s3 There should be entries such as /dev/ad0s1a and so on, but these do not get created. I've been unable to find even one example of how to formulate multiple partitions in install.cfg, but I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right, based on the sysinstall docs. Does anyone have any experience with this?
