Boot Camp Assistant borked

[DougTheImpaler]

I upgraded one of my Macs (the MBP 2016) to the developer beta and updated to APFS. And now I can't use Boot Camp Assistant. It says my Mac has 2 internal drives and that my drive was partitioned by something other than Boot Camp Assistant.

I also can't boot from the recovery partition.

FWIW, the file system is now in a container and I'm guessing stuff needs to be updated yet. Here's what diskutil list has to say. Not looking for a solution, because I've got it backed up and I can reformat jHFS+, just wondering if anyone else has noticed any of this.

/dev/disk0 (internal):

Lets bring this up again.
I have the exact same problem and am not able to create a boot camp partition at this point. Has anybody an idea to handle or a workaround to get windows installed on the sd card?

I had the same problem. I fixed it by booting into recovery and using disk utility to delete the Apple_kernalcoredump partition and then boot camp assistant worked.

Had this idea as well but was not sure about it, so i installed my win 10 boot camp on an external ssd and this works great even with more space

How did you go about doing that? When I go into Disk Utility in Recovery Mode and click on the Apple_kernalcoredump it doesn't give the option to delete the volume. I also tried using Terminal and that did not work either.

I just clicked on the partition and then clicked on the - button below it.

Bootcamp in High Sierra Beta don't support modification apfs partition, so can't split it to create a bootcamp pratition.
