bsdlabel partiton c error message on new install

[andys]

Hi, 

  the below was resolved by rebooting the server. After a reboot the device 
file /dev/da0s1g has been created, however this doesnt seem completely 
normal as sysinstall obviously expected to see the new device file 
immediately. Perhaps there is a prob with my system or is there just a 
problem with the expectations of sysinstall?? :S 

cheers Andy.
