Actually I want to know because in cfdisk OpenBSD can create 'A' - 'P'
of partition, so if FreeBSD I want impelementation, I tried with running
normally (after install FreeBSD) and then I will create with MAKEDEV
script for ex:

bash-2.05#cd /dev
bash-2.05a# sh MAKEDEV ad0s1i
bad partition for disk in: ad0s1i

so after that I want create newfs command and add entry in /etc/fstab
it possible to create more partition..?

TIA
