http://geodsoft.com/howto/dualboot/freebsd.htm writes this:To install a new FreeBSD system, you must create a new '/' = file system at a minimum. If you do this in a slice with an existing '/' = partition the previous system will become inaccessible. You can normally = tell that there is a previous '/' mounted in the current slice, if any = existing partition name ends in an 'a'.=20 Does this imply that I must rename my slices, that I can't boot from = /dev/ad1s3e ?
