I followed the instructions exactly..
I moved my root from ad0s2e to ad0s1a, hoping that it would fix things.
Now the bootloader just gives me Not ufs
Ad0s2e doesn't work anymore either. (No /boot/loader -- it worked before,
thought)
Currently, my computer can't be used!!
Nooo!!
Please help :(

Subject: Migrate /usr (ufs) to different partition (ufs2) on different slice
Is it possible for me, in one way or another, to newfs a ufs2 partition from
a differently partitioned slice?
I'm using 5_1_releng at the moment, with no evident problems. My Settings
are:
/dev/ad0s2e on / (ufs, local, soft-updates)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad0s1g on /home (ufs, local, soft-updates)---
Shared
/dev/ad0s2h on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s2f on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)
/dev/ad0s1h on /usr/ports/distfiles (ufs, local, soft-updates) ---
Shared
/dev/ad0s1d on /bleh (ufs, local, soft-updates)---
Stray
...
Additional partions from disklabel:
ad0s1anone400
ad0s1enone64
ad0s1fnone256
The aforementioned shared slices used to belong to my 4_Stable Partition
that I had initially installed as the main o/s.
A fortnight ago, I decided to test 5_1_releng out on some extra space that I
had assigned to document-storage.
The installation went Great! I had all the functionality of 4-Stable, with a
few added benefits.
Apparently, it went so smoothly that I had now decided to use ad0s1's
(original slice) greater storage capacity to migrate my /usr /var over.
I will still keep my root partition intact on slice ad0s2e, and I was hoping
that there was some way I could painlessly
migrate over the settings.
In essence, what I'm trying to do is:
Merge space from unused ad0s1;
newfs to ufs2;
Create new /usr partition based on ad0s1's given space;
Create new /var partition
Configure Loader to only recognise the 5_1_releng partition.
I understand the implications of this procedure. Namely, I'll lose a Stable
Partition, whilst having to deal with Current's quirks.
This isn't a production server, it's more of a hobby machine where I can
learn how to implement commands, and understand
coding structure/debug/fix.
