9.0B1 Installer issues
Recently did a clean install of 9.0B1 into a 900gb VMware image.
1. The mount path shown on the screen gets truncated if it's longer than
8 characters. See /usr/ports on the image at
http://www.fuzzwad.org/FreeBSD-9.0B1/fbsdinstall1.png
It does mount
correctly but it'd be more useful to see the whole path than all the
blue background in this screen.
2. Creating a 4gb filesystem for /usr/ports does not generate enough
inodes to untar ports.txz into.

This may not be
an installer issue per se, but does need to be addressed. I'm sure I'm
not the only one who wants separate filesystems for ports [and src and obj].
3. A minor nit... no screen image for this one so I hope my explanation
suffices. From the screen shown in 1 above [and on a disk with some
unallocated space :) ], press "C"reate. The top line says "freebsd-ufs"
with the cursor on the "f", and you're in "insert mode". I either have
to arrow out to the end of the line, then backspace; or type in what I
want, then delete the rest. Two ways to make this more friendly. A]
Place the cursor at the end of the line. B] Leave it at the beginning,
but if anything but arrow keys are pressed [and you're at the beginning
of the line], delete the text after the cursor.
