>Description:
When installing to a disk with existing BSD partitions, the partitioner from the installer shows the "previously mounted on" mount point and it cannot be changed from the interface. If it is a root partition, installation cannot continue.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Create a root partition on a BSD-formatted disk;
2. Mount it somewhere else and unmount
3. Run the installer
4. Note that even when you change the displayed mount point to /, it remains the same.
