I can only tell you what I *believe* I did, obviously, since I wasn't videoing
myself as I did this.  (Maybe I will next time! :-)

I'm not sure that any of this info will help though, as I believe that I did
all of the exact same manual partitioning actions the second time around, i.e.
*after* I had *also* done:

1)  gpart destroy -F ada0
2)  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada0 bs=1M count=10

However on this second install attempt everything worked, no problem.

Anyway, what I did, to the best of my recollection was this:

I started out, of course, selecting GPT as the partitioning scheme.

I created a 1 GiB / (root) partition... type freebsd-ufs of course.

I created a 16 GiB swap partition (freebsd-swap).

The rest is as you can see here, which is the "df -k" output from my (now
running) system:


/dev/ada0p2      1014940    231756    701992    25%    /
devfs                  1         1         0   100%    /dev

/dev/ada0p10   473796804     32808 435860252     0%    /w
procfs                 4         4         0   100%    /proc

I hope and trust that this answers your question.
