It shows up a "invalid > partition table" message and stops. This is a known bug in sysinstall, you're creating two slices with id 165=20 (FreeBSD) and sysinstall wrongly sets both active. See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D72895 Just use fdisk -u from the command line and if it asks you weather you want= to=20 change the active partition, say yes and type 1, then write the new table. =2DHarry > > Have reinstalled the standard boot after the reinstallation via CDROM > (Custom, Partitions, (S)et the 2 primary partition Active and (W)rite > information do disk.
