I managed to slice ad2 using /stand/sysinstall. However.... disklabel -r shows: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 819200 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 93 # (Cyl. 0 - 812*) b: 2017089 37859328 swap # (Cyl. 37558*- 39559*) c: 39876417 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 39559*) e: 512000 819200 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 812*- 1320*) f: 14680064 1331200 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 1320*- 15884*) g: 14680064 16011264 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 15884*- 30447*) h: 7168000 30691328 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 30447*- 37558*) which is fine - what I expected AND what I asked for! :-) The two larger partitions are for /usr and /usr/local. The other partitions are for / /var and /opt. BUT, when I create a directory in which to mount ad2 I get: root@BAPhD ~ #ls -R /usr/local/new opt usr var /usr/local/new/opt: /usr/local/new/usr: local /usr/local/new/usr/local: /usr/local/new/var: Note that /usr/local is not shown as a separate entity. Similarly, there is no root partition. Obviously, I am doing something wrong, or incompletely - but what?
