(what command *is* that anyways? can it be accessed from the command line? just for future reference....) But that wound up giving me error messages so I wound up using the slice editor/fdisk to remove that partition and the previous freebsd partition and created a new "slice" onto wich I made a new series of filesystems and re-installed the OS and programs onto. Btw, since I didn't say so before, I'm trying to get FreeBSD 3.2 running. I apologize for any harshness/whining in my last post: this is day #5 of this...and my nerves are definately frayed.
