Hi, Tried to install the BETA2 from a mem-stick onto a 250Gb disk. Which turned out to be used in a ZFS box. Since it does contain GPT info telling me ada0p1 was a freebsd-zfs partion. This however results in that I can not find any "normal" way in the guided and expert config menus to actual tell it to use the whole disk for a new fresh FreeBSD install. it keeps complaining Operation not permitted 'ada0 table is corrupt' Only way to proceeds seems to be is to go to shell, dd /dev/zero over the first few blocks and then restart.... Not shure that many people that end up using a ZFS old disk, also do not know how to fix this. But then again, what is there is another "corrupt" GPT setup on the disk... --WjW
