DragonFly cannot detect existing FreeBSD partitions during install and cannot detect SanDisk USB flash drive during install

Hi,

I have a notebook PC with existing FreeBSD disk partitions of 6.2 and
5.5 releases and then to install DragonFly 2.0 for multiple OS
booting. Before I begin installing DragonFly, I already created a
slice for it using FreeBSD-6.2 installer and I assume the same slice
type of 165 that DragonFly is using but somehow it failed to detect
existing FreeBSD partitions.  So, what I did next is to try installing
DragonFly on my 1GB SanDisk USB flash drive but somehow it failed to
detect the device during installation. Although I know this USB
drive's driver is supported by DragonFly as I've have tried plugging
it on another PC with DragonFly.
