yes, it is separate hd's, with many part/slices there. The
one with FreeBSD is parted as:
256mB for the swap, plus 4x5gB for (intending) FreeBSD 4.5
and 5 and OpenBSD. Last 5gB to be left alone

Surely, I am doing something wrong. The hd is the second
one, the slice is the second one (the first is the 256mb
swap). Suppose, then that it must be:
boot 1:ad(2,a)/boot/loader ??
