I have the usual /, /usr, /var (which does not work), /tmp and /home assortment of partitions. I also have a partition that I use for various things that overflow from one of the standard partitions. This one is called /any. bsdinstall apparently cannot cope with this partition. After specifying it in partition editor, the next step produces: Error Error mounting partition /mnt/any: mount: /dev/ada0s1h: Invalid argument Then in the shell I performed a newfs on it manually: newfs /dev/ada0s1h And then I was able to mount it successfully in the shell. After bsdinstall fails with that error it completely gives up and offers to restart from the beginning, discarding most data I already entered including partition layout. >How-To-Repeat: Try to install 9.1 and specify a non-standard partition >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
