IC, sorry may be I did not make myself clear enough then. The fdisk statement I ran only with one partition entry is to learn fdisk, that's why I ran in test mode.

I need at least 2 partitions, one for FreeBSD 7 and other for FreeBSD 8. I need two slices for that.

I still need to understand clearly how to create slices in FreeBSD. I know 4 slices per disk can be created.

The question is, is what I posted on my first post sufficient to create slices correctly? 

Btw, thank you very much for so many replies without giving up :)
