oh, yes of course sorry.

I want to install 3.0

yes and no, I tried both. First I created my custom layout. But because 
it doesn't work, I take the default.
As I already say, moving the partition A to start with an higher 
cylinder number, doesn't help
even with a unused partition A the same error came up.

sure, with the default layout:

# disklabel sd0
# /dev/rsd0c:
type: unknown
disk: mydisk
label:
flags:

sectors/track: 161

8 partitions:

my own config:

This happened during sysinst, but also manually. Because it doesn't work 
with sysint I tried to disklabel on my own.

I will try this later.
