>Environment:
N/A (trying to install 7.2-R)
>Description:
While installing 7.2 with sysinstall, I used the disklabel editor to create a

- 59 MB slice for FreeBSD
- 2 GB swap partition
- 12 GB / partition
- 1.5 GB /var partition
- 42326 MB /home partition

During the last step, sysinstall reported "unable to create partition. Too big?"

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I was able to create the partition as desired after I rearranged the order of creation. I created the / partitin first.
