I have a machine with a large hard drive which is not completely
partioned (in the MSDOS sense).  I would like to take some of this
unallocated space and make it a slice, label it and newfs it, but I am
not sure if I can do this without screwing up the existing slice scheme.
Are there any suggestions for the _RIGHT_ way to do this so I don't kill
the existing scheme?
