I go through the motions of creating a slice, there's no error message
and no slice.
Am I right to think 4.2 won't install on this drive without drastic
measures?

The space I was hoping to use is currently occupied by hda6; at the
time of the attempt it was free space.
I now have the impression that the space must be in one of the areas
described in the partition table entries in the MBR - hda1-4. Is this
so?
