I am setting up a machine with freebsd and wanted to ask a few questions:

1. I am very familiar with Openbsd and its installation...with that in 
mind, is there still the >1024 limit on hard drives for "/" ?

I would like to have slice A larger than 503MB (which on my 40GB drive is 
1023 cylinders).

2. Any more advanced way to slice and dice the disk?

A. More than just a few mount points? - I can add more but I get an "X" 
instead of the appropriate drive slices..

B. is there a more expert way to format the slices? the install program 
does this nicely, but there are no 'warnings' presented - like if some 
clusters cannot be assigned and so forth.

Thanks in advance for any replies!
