	How do I use/reach FDISK via the CD installation script?
	I've looked at the kwik way and the Custom (for experts).
	If I use the "Allocate" menu I see the FDISK editor.
	What then?  So far I've simply used "C = Create Slice";
	then in the following menu I've labeled the slices.

	Which option in the screen/editor?  Or how-to FDISK 
	ad0s2 any other way?

	thanks,

	gary
