State Changed From-To: open->feedback To submitter: are you trying to install over a previous install of FreeBSD, and if so, was that install done using the "dangerously dedicated" option originally? If so, please see PR bin/140900. If that is not the case, can you give a little more detail about exactly how you have got to this point? Quite a few people have used the memstick image with success, so it'd be useful to try to determine what you are doing differently. For example, are you adding a swap partition while setting up the disk partitions, or not?

I tried with a USB CDROM, but it couldn't see the drive was there after boot. I tried with FTP install, but then it failed to resolve the FTP host (I commented on another PR that seems to already have this issue in it). So then I set up an all new partition setup with a USB drive, but it failed in the described fashion. I created a swap partition (always make it the first partition), also /, /tmp, /var, /usr, and /home. This is pretty typical of my setups, but I don't think I have ever done one on a drive this big. I also noticed when I dropped to a fixit shell that it doesn't appear to see the partitions as the right sizes. Is >1TB a problem? --TimH For bugs matching the following criteria: Status: In Progress Changed: (is less than) 2014-06-01 Reset to default assignee and clear in-progress tags.
