How do I create the two slices? In what step of 2.7.2 (Manual Partitioning) do you experience problems? Can you provide the text of the error message? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/bsdinstall-partitioning.html This chapter covers GPT and MBR partitioning with the new bsdinstall program. If you don't have success using the installer, just try to use the command line's default tools. With gpart you can create GPT and MBR partitioning, but you can also use the "old-fashioned" tools like fdisk and disklabel / bsdlabel. You should be able to access them via the shell. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
