I've installed FreeBSD snapshots a couple of times this week. With Virtualbox
4.1 on both Windows and OS X with a 20GB disk I've found the installer forgets
to create the homedir - /home doesn't exist, so when you get placed at / when

hi there,
i noticed that chromium, expecially in combination with nspluginwrapper and
flash, is causing a lot of I/O faults. i ran 'top -mio -I -n 99' and after
only ~ 4 hours of running chromium (most of the time not loading any new

last pid: 39976; load
I have been hearing about a new installer but I obviously have not
payed enough attention, I am afraid. I started running freebsd at 2.0
and never really had a problem with understanding the installation
program. There is always a first time, I guess.

I have no way of sending my dump as I'm leaving for OScon and have no access to
my desktop, but I did see this behavior.
I'm also running HEAD on amd64.

It's causing page faults, which is a massive difference.

Something tells me that's a disaster waiting to happen. Eg, if
something happens, and the installer disk gets corrupted, people may
blame freebsd for being unstable, email questions to freebsd-* mailing
lists asking why X doesn't work (only for it to work when the image is
written out again), etc,

Can you please describe what you didn't like about it, and what you would
