<snip>

I am currently running FreeBSD 4.3-S on ad0s3 (first physical disk, slice 3); 
ad0s4 (on the same machine, ie my bloat^Wworkstation) is a FreeBSD slice 
containing data. 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).
