This sequence was posted earlier. Give it a spin:

I mailed my procedure a dozen times:
disklabel -Brw sd1 auto
disklabel -e sd1 # edit partitions
for filesys in `get file system partitions of sd1`
do
newfs -d0 /dev/rsd1${filesys}
done
vi /etc/fstab
This creates ``dangerously dedicated'' drives (thus no `fdisk'
required), as long as this is fine with you, the above is perhaps the
easiest way.

Analyze it, and tell Jordan about the actual problem.

This is a quickie. I have the long explanation of this from Seppo if you
are interested.
If I had a disk to make, I'd write a tutorial.
