Bug 21300

Summary: Install CD-ROMs don't give users enough rope.
Product: Base System Reporter: mwm
Component: miscAssignee: freebsd-bugs (Nobody) <bugs>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: 4.1-RELEASE

OS: Any   

Description mwm 2000-09-15 22:30:01 UTC 
	I'd like to install a second version of FreeBSD on the partition
	described above. However, the install CD-ROM *refuses* to do
	the install because the BSD boot loader (boot easy? Something
	else?) can't deal with the partition in question.
	
	Refusing to install is obnoxious. There should be someway to
	do an install *anyway*. Lots of warnings are probably
	appropriate, but not being able to do this is a very silly
	thing.

Fix: 

Sorry...
How-To-Repeat: 
	Try an install with an out-of-bounds root partition.

Does this problem still exist in newer releases?
