I wonder if one could:
- add a 2nd disk and format and make fs and mount
- tar up the entire contents of / (everything except / assuming that /
is separate slice) to second disk.
- blow away 1st disk. re-partition it as desired.
- re-install freebsd and then untar what was originally tarred from
second disk onto 1st disk. assuming that / is on separate slice.
