hail,
I have some problems trying to install 9.0-BETA3 using a serial terminal. I
edited to have it boot
using serial console, that was fine, but I can't get it to create the slices
the size I want. I
say 1g to create a swap, and it puts there -56GB as size. Next I try to set 4GB
to /var, using 4g
or 4GB, and it sets 1.5GB.

Add a new partition
to add to this, I couldn't find where to say that I'd like that or this
partition to be formatted,
and how to create labels to it.
is this supposed to happen this way ? Am I doing something wrong ?
thanks,
matheus

The partition table was created using sysinstall from the same installation. matheus -- We will call you Cygnus, The God of balance you shall be A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
