Hello,

I'm atttempting to install FreeBSD 4.11 mini iso setting up the following partitions:

Code:

ad0a    /             500M
ad0b    swap          500M
ad0e    /config       100M
ad0f    /var          <rest of disk>

The install When choosing " Standard Installation" , I selected Standard ( no boot manager ), I created the patitions with the size I want and labeled them starting with "/" as shown in the error.

The errors I keep getting :

Code:

No root device found - you must label a partition as / in the label editor.
Couldn't make filesystems properly aborting.

Please go easy on me, this is my first post and I'm fairly new to BSD.

Basically I'm trying to set the following partitions, when I do so I keep getting the messages above.
