- I found some solution of this problem, but not a _real_ solution:
-
- You must allow 'install' to _create_ BSD partition, don't create this
- partion by hand or by "diskmanager" or by something else.
- 'install' can't work only when BSD partition already exist, but can
- create it himself!
-
- Very strange...
