> In the subject line, you wrote "large partition", so I assume you won't w= ant to boot from from the device, but use it as a big storage area instead.= Correct me if I'm wrong. For simplicity I didn't include all the details. In fact we need three slic= es, one for the OS, one for swap, and the rest for data. I can create the f= irst two slices the way I normally do using fdisk/bsdlabel/newfs. But I'm s= tumped on how to create the large third slice.
