Gary, thanks. All my servers run OpenBSD, so I know the difference between a DOS-partition and a slice. :) My confusion is about the labels. I could not label it what I wanted, like zfsed or pool, it had to be root. And since we can have only a single bf-partition per drive (dsk), I was thinking ZFS would take the (existing but unlabeled) s0 to attach to. This does not seem to be the case. Out of curiosity: how does it matter (to ZFS) if /dsk/c3t1d0s0 is a complete drive or exists in a bf-partition?
One way or another, /dev/dsk/c2d0s0 seems to be over-defined now. By the way, sorry to take your time. If what I want to do is described in a recipe-like manner, I will with pleasure receive and study that link.
