This is an installer problem.

I have a small leftover slice on the primary drive,
and an enormous second drive.

Partition hdb starts out well, but prompted for the bootloader,
I select hda, and the partitioning I've done on hdb is all gone.

If I would like to have my bootloader on hda, I have to partition
on hda as well.

This way I can only have 300 MB hda for FreeBSD
while I have 3.5 GB hdb available. Funny or what?


>How-To-Repeat:
Well, get an old VX board, I'm running 200MHz on a QDI 430VX,
IDE drives. Never have had any problems with Linux distros, 
albeit this is my first try in FreeBSD.
>Fix:
Better installer, please.

Is this still a problem with more recent releases? If so, a few 
more details of the exact disk layout and what you are trying 
to achieve would be useful.
