About this problem, I have seen that in the past there have been problem
with libdisk when a WinXP partition had an invalid name. Could it be
something like that that could be causing this error? I guess the
problem occurs somewhere in the Open_Disk function of libdisk, right?
Should I be able to get around this problem by installing through a
PC-BSD CD instead? I have never tried PC-BSD. Does their installer rely
on libdisk at all?
Thanks!

So you get the same "file system full" message and then a panic about
init?
yes exactly. I currently have 4 20GB partitions/slices on that drive
1: Win XP fat32
2: Old FreeBSD installation
3: FAT32
4: Empty UFS2
however I really don't understand why I would need to move partitions
around to allow the installer to even start? This machine has 2GB of
RAM which I guess should be plenty enough to start the installer
without swapping... The hard drive is a 80GB WD IDE drive. The
machine is not configured to use any RAID.
It is pretty odd, I've installed FreeBSD on a laptop with 60Gb
partitions and FreeBSD was last yet it worked fine..
This is the first time I see that kind of warning as well although I
have been using it for about 10 years...
