Problem with the installer sysinstall.

Hello, 


today i have installed FreeBSD-6.2 BETA2 amd-64 on a Core 2 Duo machine with
an ASUS P5LD2-VM mobo. I have encountered the following bug from the
installer: 

it wrote an fstab file with all the disk entries on ad4, while
the disk is on ad8. Hence when i rebooted, after install, root filesystem
could not be found. I had to fiddle at the prompt to get the machine to boot,
and then hand edit /etc/fstab. Obviously this would have been a "showstopper" 
for a newbie. 

By the way another minor problem is that the audio does not
work. According to the mobo manual, it is a Realtek ALC882 audio chip. None
of the sound modules have recognized the chip. Sound works under Linux.

All in one this has been a wonderful experience, except for sound FreeBSD
amd-64 works perfectly on the machine, i had no problem with the em chip,
and the machine is incredibly fast. 
I have also booted the last FREESBIE cdrom, the integrated Intel video works
no problem with the i810 driver. Even glxgears is not totally ridiculous, it's
around 1000. The 2D performance is perfectly crisp and fine.


I am joining the dmesg for reference.
