My f partition is >about 1.6GB. The whole drive was used for FreeBSD. The boot messages probably say that the FreeBSD slice has size 50000. 50000 is smaller than the whole drive, and only worked because of inadequate error checking. >I remember the install code talking about slicing and having to install >slice 1 (0) as the FreeBSD slice.
