ethernet (gem0) not working during installation of FreeBSD-8.0 on a G5

[Thomas Fritz]

Ok. I got that working. It seems, that the autoselect of gem0 does not work
properly.
So I set it manually in the shell with 'ifconfig gem0 media 10baseT/UTP'.

But I am still having difficulties. The partitioning does not work. I read
already, that this is a known problem, but I couldn't find a solution so
far.

Thanks for any help in advance.
