Sometime ago I asked this question, but haven't got no
replies. What happens? It was possible to make label
under 2.0 using disklabel and also using boot diskette.
Now in 2.0.5, 2.1 we have different slices, so how can
I make new slice from within existing FreeBSD partition ?

Any help will be appreciated.


The original mail follows:
Cheers,
Yuri.

	Hello all,

I currently try to label the rest of my disk WD 1223 MB EIDE
the fist slice /dev/wd0s1 is 50 MB (DOS)
the second is  /dev/wd0s2 is 500MB (FreeBSD)
and the rest is empty.
First I tried to make it with a boot.flp
but it wants the partition to be / (Additional FreeBSD slice)
after that it says that FreeBSD Boot manager doesn't allows 
to boot from this point.
I also tried to label it with disklabel, but no success, see
the log:
