i have a 10GB drive, w/ ~1.5GB fat32, ~3.5GB freebsd 4.3, ~3.6GB 
empty/fact32X, ~1.4GB fat32-extended. i want to install another 
slice of freebsd on ~3.6GB slice. i hesitate to find the answer 
myself as i fear i may screw up the whole installation and/or 
boot entries. i searched the mailing lists but found no, or clear, 
answers on the topic:

"Multiple FreeBSDs on one disk"
- edvard fagerholm, 25-mar-2001

"Dual boot FreeBSD/FreeBSD"
- mike meyer, 27-jun-2000

"install FreeBSD into another slice"
- zhihui zhang, 08-sep-2000


i don't need 2d slice to be bootable, just as long as i can mount it.
of course, if 2d slice can be bootable, i won't complain. i promise.

could it be possible to do install from the 1st/current slice on 
the 2d via sysinstall to create fs, type 0xa5 w/o damaging anything?
