Which partitioning scheme did you use? How did you lay out the
partitions?

I did not deviate from defaults until the partition editor, where I
deleted existing partitions (Linux) and tried to create new ones.

So, it's a MBR scheme, and I intended to create three partitions, for
"/", for "/srv" and a swap partition. I think Andrey's idea about what
went wrong with the swap partition is most probably correct, so this
only leaves the inability to register mount points with the partitions.

However, if as Brandon suggested this is already fixed, don't bother.
I'll try the BETA2 when ISOs become available and will post screenshots
(IPMI) if it fails again.


The help text for straight MBR partitioning (which has never worked for FreeBSD) has been modified for BETA2 to suggest "freebsd" (which has always been the default) instead of "freebsd-ufs" etc.

It does let you set mountpoints, and displays them, and always has, but not for bsdlabel container partitions (MBR type "freebsd"), since they aren't filesystems. Is this what you were trying to do?
