But I'm cautious to continue with the installation fearing to destroy the other partitions. If I delete the ext2 slice and create a new slice for BSD two new entries appear in fdisk. And, having moved the HPA area/slice to the end of the HD, would BSD just use the slice I assign? What's with the second entry in fdisk? And what's with a suspend area? Do I have to add another slice?
