I went back and tried this. Problem now is that the DiskLabel Editor is 
not letting me specify the size of the filesystem. I select my slice, 
type "C" to create. I can choose either "swap" or "file system" but 
whichever I pick, it automatically uses all available space, leaving 
nothing for anything else.

I went ahead and created a "/" filesystem (without any swap). "/" was 
initialized and files were copied from the CD. But then it complained 
that it couldn't install the ports system; problems also with xorg. 
Maybe my CD has some problems. I'll try ftp next time.

In any case, it appears that the DiskLabel Editor is misbehaving in 
several ways.

Thanks for any other suggestions,
