It is a bit easier to explain using sysinstall so, here is the sysinstall way: #/stand/sysinstall Configure->Fdisk->(select the disk)->(select the unused slice)->T(to change type to FreeBSD)->W(to save the changes)... Label->choose the disk and start creating partitions->be sure to make the new slices for newfs -- Ean Kingston E-Mail: ean AT hedron DOT org URL: http://www.hedron.org/ I am currently looking for work.
