I installed the FreeBSD boot loader and have now the following options:

F3 FreeBSD
F4 FreeBSD
F6 PXE
Now I wan't to enable only partition 1 and 3 and PXE (F1, F3, F6).
The manpage of boot0cfg says:
-m mask
Specify slices to be enabled/disabled, where mask is an integer
between 0 (no slices enabled) and 0xf (all four slices enabled).
which I find very confusing.
Could someone explain me what value (and why?) I have to chose to
achieve the above mentioned.
I can't say I've used that, but it appears to just be bit values. They
should be:
Partition Mask bit value
1 1
2 2
3 4
4 8
Add together the ones you need. For partitions 1 and 3, it would be
1+4, so... 5. I don't know if boot0cfg wants that as a plain decimal or
the leading 0x of a hex format, and the man page doesn't explicitly say.
It implies hex, but I suspect it wants decimal. Again, untested.
