I just deleted Winblows 95 off my hard drive. I'm very happy about this,
but would like to reclaim the space for FreeBSD. 

My FreeBSD resides in /dev/sd0s2[abef] and my winblows used to live in
/dev/sd0s1. "newfs /dev/sd0s1" results in:

PigStuy# newfs /dev/sd0s1
newfs: /dev/sd0s1: not a character-special device
newfs: ioctl (GDINFO): Invalid argument
newfs: /dev/sd0s1: can't read disk label; disk type must be specified

How do I re-format the ex-winblows part of my hard drive so FreeBSD can
use it?
