I want to move my FBSD partitions to one larger HD.  Shouldn't be hard. 
  ;-)
The system recognises my new HD at ad2
ad0: 8063MB <WDC WD84AA> [16383/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66
ad1: 8056MB <ST38421A> [16368/16/63] at ata0-slave UDMA66
ad2: 19470MB <QUANTUM FIREBALLlct20 20> [39560/16/63] at ata1-master UDMA100
acd0: CD-RW <SONY CD-RW CRX140E> at ata1-slave PIO4

BUT when I try to initialise ad2 ...   :-(
root@BAPhD ~ #fdisk -BI ad2
******* Working on device /dev/ad2 *******
root@BAPhD ~ #Jan 18 15:21:19 BAPhD /kernel: ad2: cannot find label (no 
disk label)
Jan 18 15:21:19 BAPhD /kernel: ad2s1: cannot find label (no disk label)
root@BAPhD ~ #disklabel -w ad2 auto
disklabel: No space left on device
root@BAPhD ~ #Jan 18 15:21:52 BAPhD /kernel: ad2: cannot find label (no 
disk label)
Jan 18 15:21:52 BAPhD /kernel: ad2s1: cannot find label (no disk label)
Jan 18 15:21:52 BAPhD /kernel: ad2: cannot find label (no disk label)
Jan 18 15:21:52 BAPhD /kernel: ad2s1: cannot find label (no disk label)

I looked at the drive using Partition Magic v7 (using Windoze - ouch!) 
which recognised the drive as FBSD/386.
Thought I would change this to unformatted in the hope this might help, 
then rebooted.
Same result as above. :-(

At this point I thought I had better ask for help!   :-)
