That is the slice you made. This is fine. No p about the bios thing. Good luck with the rest of your FBSD trial and tribulations.

Unbelievable. I guess when I used the PowerMax utility or something, the boot order got switched around. I haven't been in the BIOS since the machine's initial setup. Very sorry I wasted everyone's time with such a silly thing! Just to make sure though that I'm on the right track and that was it, this is what df -h looks like now: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 248M 58M 170M 25% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/ad0s1e 248M 22K 228M 0% /tmp /dev/ad0s1f 145G 128G 6.1G 95% /usr /dev/ad0s1d 248M 26M 202M 11% /var /dev/ad1s1d 55G 4.0K 51G 0% /60GB For that, I mounted /dev/ad1s1d like you said before. Basically my question is if it should be on "d" like that, since the handbook says: "Partition d used to have a special meaning associated with it, although that is now gone. To this day, some tools may operate oddly if told to work on partition d, so sysinstall will not normally create partition d." It also says: "sysinstall's Label editor favors the e partition for non-root, non-swap partitions. Within the Label editor, create a single file system by typing C." I created this though sysinstall, and the only ad1 things showing in /dev are: ad1s1 ad1s1c ad1s1d I apologize if this is getting off topic, but I just want to be certain I have everything in order to proceed.
