RC3 does not allow installation to a BE in a TrueOS 18.03 rpool.

Possibly same as https://github.com/project-trident/trident-installer/issues/27 but
will upload gpart(8) show and screenshot soon.

This is a Lenovo T520, and it has 1803 installed on it. RC3 installed just fine into it.

I'm using it to reply here

I'll try to reproduce with a VBox guest next.
Guessing it will work flawlessly there like your T520.

Grrrr...I can't reproduce on a VBox guest; installer allows me to select BE and the rpool.

Problem persists with pre-release 18.11.
The partition layout and pool were created with the same.
(I wiped the 18.03 installation)

This is a know issue, since the FreeBSD bootloader was changed from forth to lua.
