Description Michael 2010-01-15 18:10:01 UTC 
sysinstall: in a custom installation re-entering the 'Partition' menu does not show 'Select Drives' list, it just brings FDisk partition editor for last selected drive.

Fix: 

Is it a bug or I misunderstood some aspects?
How-To-Repeat: Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot from FreeBSD_Install CD/DVD
2. In sysinstall main menu choose 'Custom - Begin a custom installation'.
3. In 'Choose custom installation options' menu enter 'Partition' item.
4. In 'Select drives' list select first drive.
5. In FDisk partition editor press 'Q'.
6. In 'Install boot manager' menu choose 'None', and this will return you to the 'Select drives' list.
7. Press 'Cancel' here and return to 'Choose custom installation options' menu.
8. Now if you re-enter the 'Partition' menu item you get the FDisk editor for that last selected drive. You cannot do any more to install the system and need only exit sysinstall and reboot the machine.

sysinstall has been replaced by bsdinstall in FreeBSD 9.x. Closing.
