      i have tried both amd64 and i386 however whenever i try to install rc3 to the local disk from cd i get the error
      "Exxecution of the command
      /sbin/bsdlable -B -r -w ad4s1 auto
      FAILED with a return code of 1."

      i have previously been running rc2 on this box but wanted to do a fresh install.

      any ideas? i searched (here and google) but most info is very old or not related

        You might try writing zeroes to the whole drive, or at lease the beginning and end of the disk.

          I'm getting the exact same error trying a fresh install of 2.0 RC3.  I have reformatted the drive but still get the error.  The only difference is instead of ad4s1 mine says ad0s1.  Any suggestions on this.  I previously was running 1.2.3 with no problems what so ever.

            I swapped out the drive with a different drive, a little larger, and now all is good.  I'm not sure what caused the problem with the first drive however.

              i did the zeroes and all other recommendations
              it's a 250 gb hard drive and i was able to install 1.2.3 on it no issue but rc3 is a no go no idea why for now i have just switched the harddrive and am doing a manufactures diagnostic on the disk
