I am trying to figure out how to increase /root partition on my new 4.1.1 install

The online docs seem to cover features on disklable editor that are no longer available, such as the 
(e) edit function

I have spent a few days with a failed upgrade from 4.0 ( I blew away /usr/src/sys by mistake when I was trying to delete ../../obj and couldn't boot a kernel

So I started from scratch, I have successfully gotten a new kernel set up with firewall options in place.

All seems ready to move forward with my 2 NIC'd firewall /gateway ( currently using Winproxy on NT 4 )
BSDBOX, but then I noticed that there's only 11% avail from my 50 mb root partition.

/Usr is derived from /root, right?

Can I and is it possible to break /usr out from root and / or expand root while maintaining the new system I have painstakingly set up?

thanks,
