Well, I have yet another FreeBSD slice, but on another disk :-) The easiest way to handle slices and (Unix) partitions is probably... sysinstall. However, you might like to take a look at the man pages (fdisk, disklabel, newfs) as well as at the handbook (disks). -- Salvo "A bug in a computer program can usually be fixed; a bug in a person cannot."
