How do I find out the label(/dev/????) for the partition I want to use?
For example, on one of my machines, fdisk shows partition 3 as "(unknown)" 
which must mean that it is unused. So, how do I address this partition if I 
want to use it as ufs?
The current FBSD filesystem is mounted like this:
/dev/ad0s2a - /
/dev/ad0s2e - /tmp
/dev/ad0s2g - /usr
/dev/ad0s2f - /var
