Hi Graham,
Unfortunately the Quantum Atlas on my ATTO SCSI card is not recognised, so I had to rejig things to get data [oh, OK, my iTunes library ;-)] off of an IDE-attached Maxtor so that I could partition that. Did so (two partitions in Darwin - disk1s3 for FreeBSD and disk1s5 for swap). Chose the automagic option in the disklabel editor - this chose to put a few mounts (/, /usr, /var, swap IIRC) in ad1s3 and didn't work. Went back to disklabel editor and chose a new layout: ad1s3 / 18508MB UFS2 Y ad1s5 swap 1015MB SWAP
However, I still get errors: WARNING! Unable to swap to /dev/ad1s5: Device busy
I think once the 'auto' option was selected, it isn't possible to roll back to using partitions underneath those slices. I even suspect the same would happen on i386.
so where to go from here...? :)
Reboot, do the install again, and go straight to your selected disk layout this time.
later,
Peter.
