Virtual Decated Server Configuration:
128MB RAM
3GB Hard Disk
>Description:
The bsdinstall fails while extracting packages to the disk with the error message "out of inodes".

The selected packages are kernel, base and ports.

The 3GB HDD is freebsd dedicated and partitioning using Guided Mode with Auto Options provided by bsdinstall. 
>How-To-Repeat:
1. prepare a 3GB hard disk virtual machine. 
2. boot with 9.0-RELEASE (i386) iso image
3. start bsdinstall, select base and ports as install options
4. partitioning the disk using guided mode with auto option
5. fetching and extracting distribution files, the disk will run out of inodes
   installation fails.
>Fix:
Partition the disk maunally, run newfs with custom flags to provide more inodes.

-- OR -- 

It is highly suggested to provide custom newfs flags support in bsdinstall (as the sysinstall does).

This was a bug in newfs(8) that unfortunately snuck into the 9.0 release. It was
