FreeBSD-stable setup

[Salex S.]

Hallo,

Yesterday I tried to install FreeBSD-stable and I never saw that new 
installer which is in FreeBSD-stable. Usually I use sysinstall. 
Unfortunately "new" setup didn't show me my  NTFS partition on that disk 
and I thought that  it's normal and I can see only free space which will 
be used for FreeBSD slice. As a result NTFS partition was cleaned out! I 
got one partition on the whole disk with freebsd slice on it! And my big 
photo archive was lost! Certainly  it's my fault, but I'm sure the 
installer is not intelligible enough in partitioning and much worse than 
classic sysinstall.  User must see the whole disk he operating on with 
all partitions shown in one summary table! Now I'm trying to recover 
NTFS partition that now is UNDER FreeBSD slice. And I'm looking for 
tools that have possibilities to find NTFS tables that were not probably 
erased by FreeBSD empty slice.
