My goal was to install the debian GNU/bsd system, but things seemed to

to partition my drive.
eg.
"[!!] Partition disks
Failed to create a file system
The ufs file system creation in partition #6 of ATA1 (ad0) failed"
No matter what option I try, the default, all-in-one partition, the
seperation /home partition, etc., it doesn't work.
I (almost) always partition my drives manually, and recently installed Debian i386 5.0.8 DVD 1 on one machine and Debian i386 6.0.0 DVD 1 on two others without any problems.
Yes, but it doesn't seem to be the standard i386 install that he's having problems with, with references like 'ad0' and 'ufs'.
You may be better off trying for assistance here which seems to have a mailing list that would help:
