>Organization:
>Environment:

	The installation floppies for all releases

>Description:

	if disk label step is done after everything else, then the installation
	procedure will not continue, and the installation has to be started
	over again.
	There was a similar problem in the networking configuration section,
	if the host IP typed wrong, after OK, it wouldn't be changed again.
	I do not know if this problem still exist.
	These problem is no critical, but very time consuming.

>How-To-Repeat:

	From Welcome to FreeBSD! menu, choose 5,6,7 and skip FreeBSD Disklabel
	Editor or delete swap; continue to configure everything else and hit
	OK. Some error will be reported for continuing installation.
	Go back FreeBSD Disklabel Editor and make correct disk partitions,
	and try installation again, nothing will work, and you have to start
	all over again from reboot.
