if all fails, make a small bootable partition. Just enough for a
minimal installation. After the system is running, create the other
partitions how you want them.

When your disk is above 1TB, I would suggest to keep home outside of
the UFS partitions in the ZFS pool.

A fsck takes really long on lager disks. Even on 50GB, you really you
will have to be patient.
