Hi there,

 After pulling my hair out for a few hours, I deduced this may be a bug in the installer
 and/or mount/newfs in general in 4.3-RC3/4. 

 The testbed machine for this as follows:

 HP NetServer LH Plus
 1x PPro 200
 256mb ECC
 Mylex DAC 960-PL (JetSet software, HP branded)
 5, 4gb hotswap scsi's
 
 After 'newfs', the installer attempts to mount its creations so the install may begin, however,
 without fail, this error appears (depending on partitions, the mount point/device sometimes
 is different)

 Error mounting /mnt/dev/mlxd0s1g on /mnt/home2 : invalid argument 

 After a few hours of declaring war with the machine, I went back a few generations and
 tried a 4.2-RELEASE install. Flawless (as far as newfs/mount problems are concerned.)
