cant create slice

hello, ive been having this new problem while install freebsd on my old computer, the install goes fine until the disklabel editor

then i get this:

unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev

I have installed FreeBSD on the system before with no problem using the 7.1 livefs cd, at first I though it was the new 7.2 disc i was trying to use so i tried the old 7.1 disc and the same happens

the only thing ive done since my last install is install OpenBSD and NetBSD.
 
I glad you told me. I'll stop running around saying that. I wish I knew something about it.

Good luck
 
When you're in the fdisk part of the install make sure to remove any existing slices. Recreate everything. Do the same if there are any in disklabel.

If the error occurs hit ALT-F4 and look if the debug screen has anything interesting to say.
