Just did an install on a disk. Never seen this before, but I made my own partitions instead of 'a' for automatic, and they came up as ad0s1c-g, instead of ad0s1a-e. Sysinstall (7.2 release) seemed to progress & complete just fine. When I try to boot the disk, I get "invalid partition", then "boot: 0:(ad,0)/boot/kernel/kernel", etc...I've tried every permutation I can think of on adXs1Y/boot/kernel/kernel at this prompt - it's wedged tight. So, I jump back to the liveFS disk, thinking sysinstall zorked the disk, but I can mount the disk (ad0s1d) just fine, and see the contents of /mnt/boot/kernel and see /mnt/boot/loader* (never seen a file with a * in the name, but the one on <livefs>/boot has a * after loader too). Best, Steve
