Verify: Install to full disk

[beanpole135]

Verify that an install to a full, single disk works properly

• VirtualBox VM is a good test of this

On my first attempt using Beta1 I selected full, single disk and the install failed. "No partition schemes found" I rebooted the installer and this time the ZFS partitioning was there. I selected the previously created ZFS partitioning and the installer is happy.

1 thing to note, I did click on the BE radio button. It looked inactive so moved on and didn't click back to single disk. Maybe that's the culprit.

Currently installing :)

VirtualBox using UEFI install failed.
EXITERROR: Error 1:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0p /mnt/boot/efi
Cleaning up...
For more details see log file: /tmp/.pc-sysinstall/pc-sysinstall.log

If I were to hazard a guess, the /boot/efi partition wasn't properly created?

Was this BIOS or UEFI

Here is a screenshot from the pc-sysinstall.log
Really github, no image upload?

Went through the installer again after it failed with the /boot/uefi issue. Here's a pic of the installer's Install Location. It looks like the space for the /boot/uefi partiton is there, just not active or being used?
The screenshot shows Free Space (329MB)

4th time was the charm :) I'm installed and booted. The last time through the installer I clicked on the Disk, not the ZFS partition. Not sure if that was what made the difference.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do.

Currently Looking at the stage dated for Sept 5th, Using VMware workstation 14 on Ubuntu.
When installing to disk, the Free Space is able to be selected, but fails.

But upon the next attempt to install, the disk was modified from the previous attempt, but the da0(disk) is then select-able, and able to continue on with the install.
