Try installing again using the default disklabel slice layout. If that works that means your root file system is too big. I rarely make my root partition any larger than 512MB (128MB-256MB is typical for me). If the default slice sizes aren't large enough for you, adjust them as needed. If you need a file system with a ton of space in it, use /home for that, or make an extra slice and mount it where it makes sense (e.g. /var/mariadb if you need a big space for a database). At a minimum, you should have separate partitions for / (root), /usr, /usr/local, /var and /home. In rare circumstances I've made root file systems as large as 16GB. But a 200GB+ root is really too much. -ken
