freebsd install problem


Ok, i want to install freebsd 5.0 on my dell as a dual boot machine. Ok i go to the standard install then fdisk and creat the freebsd and swap partition. After that then i go to the disklabel editor and here is what it says
ad0s1 <none> 31MB Dos
ad0s3a / 256MB Ufs1 Y
ad0s3b swap 1002 SWAP
ad0s3d /var 256MB UFS1+S Y
ad0s3e /tmp 256MB UFS1+S Y
ad0s3f /usr 6222MB UFS1+S Y

After that i hit Q and that finishes, then i get a error "Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s3b in /dev! The creation of filesystems will be aborted." I hit ok then i get another error "Couldnt make filesystems properly. Aborting." then i hit ok and the install exits. So my question is what do i do to get rid of those errors for it to install correctly?

BSD questions are more suitable in the BSD forum. So as you can see, this thread has been moved.

Delete all the slice, and hit the bottom, then it will auto configure it, by itself =)
