Hmmmm .... My 'c' slice is *not* the size of the whole drive:
[root@kabini1, /etc, 9:54:38am] 596 % bsdlabel da0
# /dev/da0:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 1401120 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0
c: 1401120 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part,
don't edit
[root@kabini1, /etc, 9:54:44am] 597 %
1401120 (sectors) * 512 (bytes/sector) = 7.173734e+08 Bytes or 717-ish
MB (700.56 MiB), which is what I'm seeing out of my mounted drive, not
the 4-ish GB (3.61-ish GiB) it should be .... I'm guessing the drive
would boot & install OK, however it is convenient to be able to log the
proceedings in case of questions, that is what I am getting at ....
