I'm trying to install FreeBSD in QEMU with 2Gb disk. Installation fails when unpacking ports with Extract Error:

Error while creating ports.txz:
Can't create 'usr/ports/net/xisp/files/CVS/Repository'

Text on background shows 'out of inodes' error (see screenshot at http://i39.tinypic.com/s2bif9.png). If space is a problem - the installer should warn about it beforehand. Unfortunately, I can't find a way how to switch to alternative console in installer to check free disk space.

>How-To-Repeat:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 freebsd.qcow 2G
qemu -hda freebsd.qcow -cdrom FreeBSD-9.0-RC1-i386-bootonly.iso -boot d -m 256
