>Description:
Trying to install freebsd 9.1.
I have the usual /, /usr, /var (which does not work), /tmp and /home assortment of partitions.
I also have a partition that I use for various things that overflow from one of the standard partitions. This one is called /any.
bsdinstall apparently cannot cope with this partition. After specifying it in partition editor, the next step produces:
Error
Error mounting partition /mnt/any:
mount: /dev/ada0s1h: Invalid argument
Then in the shell I performed a newfs on it manually:
newfs /dev/ada0s1h
And then I was able to mount it successfully in the shell.
After bsdinstall fails with that error it completely gives up and offers to restart from the beginning, discarding most data I already entered including partition layout.
