>Description:
The bsdinstall partition editor does not check for an existing freebsd-boot partition.


>How-To-Repeat:
In bsdinstall at the Partitioning screen, select Manual.
Choose GPT.
Create a freebsd-boot partition, size 1M, no mountpoint, label gpboot.
Create a freebsd-ufs partition, size 10G, mountpoint /, label gprootfs.

On selecting Okay, the partition editor shows:

  This partition scheme requires
  a boot partition for the disk
  to be bootable. Would you like
  to make one now?

Of course, there's already a freebsd-boot partition.
>Fix:
Add a check for an existing freebsd-boot partition to gpart_ops.c, about line 918.
