now disklabel da1:
8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  b:  5120000  5120000      swap                    	# (Cyl.  318*- 637*)
  c: 71681967        0    unused        0     0       	# (Cyl.    0 - 4461*)
  e:  5120000        0    4.2BSD     2048 16384    89 	# (Cyl.    0 - 318*)
  f: 61441967 10240000    4.2BSD     2048 16384    89 	# (Cyl.  637*- 4461*)

and i wanted to be:
  a:  5120000        0    4.2BSD     2048 16384    89 	# (Cyl.    0 - 318*)
  b:  5120000  5120000      swap                    	# (Cyl.  318*- 637*)
  c: 71681967        0    unused        0     0       	# (Cyl.    0 - 4461*)
  e: 61441967 10240000    4.2BSD     2048 16384    89 	# (Cyl.  637*- 4461*)

so in place of a i have the e.
BUT if I try to mount the e or f I get a device busy.
