Re: 10.0 - Installer newfs segfaults on SS2

	Hello.  I think what we're interested in is the contents of the disklabel, which should be
written to the disk before newfs runs, but after you've zeroed it with dd.  Have you verified,
with disklabel -r the contents of the disklabel on the media itself from the shell prompt?
That should show you the partition table for the media.  Based on your description of the
problem, I'd say, the disklabel isn't getting written to the media for some reason, which is
causing newfs to bomb out before it does anything useful.  Obviously, it should give an error
message, but probably no one thought newfs would ever run against a blank disk.
