Depends on how the boot process is being performed. A look
in /etc/fstab or maybe (customized?) rc.diskless could tell
you more. Basically, it's simple to boot the media, get to
a command line, and look at the "mount -v" output.
Another option woule be to use disklabel and and add a new
partition, for example letter 'd', which ends at the end
of the media (where 'c' usually ends). Note that no partition
can be bigger than 'c' ("the whole thing").
