# what you mean by "partitioning"? fdisk?  this is not required at all,
# unless you plan to have some non-FreeBSD filesystems on them.

	Are you _really_ sure?
 
# Just make a /etc/disktab entry (read the beginning of the file for format).
# read the man page for disklabel. Understand it.  Look at your existing
# label.  Plan your layout (a: for root, b: for swap, e: for /usr - this
# is for normal disk, you can make other but remember b: is always swap
# and c: is entire slice and d: is not used now.)
# 
# then disklabel -w -B sd1 your-disk-type
# (assuming your new disk is sd1).
# 
# run disklabel sd1 to verify.  run disklabel -e sd0 to fix it if necessary.

                                                 sd1, for sure
[... no additions, that's all right ...]
