If you can live without the linux installation, you can always use fdisk to tag the linux partition as a BSD slice, then disklabel to create a new partition in the slice, and newfs to format and prepare it for mounting under your BSD root filesystem somewhere. On the other hand, if you can't live without linux, I would recommend backing up the linux partition to some removable media, then playing around with some parts of your partition table, etc. However, this process is tricky and very prone to devastating errors, so ... ahem, you should be careful. Backing up and reinstalling is also an option, but I don't know if this is an acceptable one in your case. -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> "That field hath eyen, and the wood hath ears."
