Neither the proxmox 2.0 or 2.1 installer CD will format a 1.5TB drive I have that has FreeBSD already on it. It just says failed to format hard disk /dev/sda. The proxmox 1.7 installer formats it fine.

Once the FreeBSD formatted drive was reformatted by the proxmox 1.7 installer, the proxmox 2.1 installer then works fine.
