Everything went fine using /stand/sysinstall to create and label the new partitions, mount them as /mnt1 /mnt2 etc. and the files were copied with tar. The only filesystem I have not tried to move yet is / Using /stand/sysinstall, each time I mount the new filesystem (vs. swap), the letter assigned is 'e' and not 'a'. Rather than guess, I figured I ask the list what the proper thing to do regarding moving the root filesystem is.
