	When referring to the slices in a FreeBSD partition,
which is correct, ad0s1a or ad0s1-1?

	One of the problems in setting up install.cfg is that I
am not sure if it is not configuring the disk because the
designations are wrong or if I am telling fdisk to do something
that it can't do.

ad0s1-1=ufs 77116032 / 1
ad0s1-2=swap 0 

or should it be ad0s1a and ad0s1b?

	When using ad0s1a and ad0s1b, there are no error
messages, but it also didn't create the swap partition. Thank you.
