I'm fairly new but when I went to do this FBSD said my geometry was wrong. I cant remember what symbol it uses at the disk config area of sysinstall but I just got rid of the symbol and it worked ok. Sorry for the untechnical info but I hope you get the idea of what I am trying to say. Im not on my FBSD box so I cant get exact info. Hope it helps.
