Just tried to install current using the latest AMD64 snapshot 201512071640Z on a blank SATA drive. Boots up off the memory stick OK and after allocating partitions it fails when trying to newfs the first partition rwd0a. An error: ioctl DIOCGMEDIASIZE failed 19 appears in the log messages several times.
The first partition (rwd0a) is set to be 512M and the newfs croaks with: /sbin/newsfs -V2 -O2 -b 8182 -f 1024 /dev/rwd0a Newfs: size 488397168 exceeds 525168 sector filesystem size on '/dev/rwd0a' Retrying doesn't work as the installer can no longer see the disk unless the install is rebooted. I haven't tried setting different partition size for wd0a as 512M is normally fine for root. Disk is a 232GB Western Digital. I can send-pr a bug report if required.
