Yes, you probably don't need to disklabel it because it has probably automagically recieved a slice designation. Just run "disklabel device" and you will be on your way. Just run newfs on that raw slice and mount it like anything else. On Sat, 20 Jan 2007 18:41:57 -0500 Kenneth R Westerback <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Depends what you want to use it for. :-).

I actually have put two seperate root slices on one disk, one stable and the other current. And booted from them both. Just tell boot > boot hd0d:/bsd, or what have you.
