Thanks for the reply.

I split the drive in two with the intentions of installing FreeBSD on
one slice, and Linux on the other (I haven't tried Linux yet).  Are you
suggesting that I should try putting / on a small slice by itself, and
see if that boots?  It's worth a shot.

------------------------------------------- 

I just recently did something similar (put / on a 
third drive to simplify multibooting on a system 
that also includes a 2-disk RAID array).  Searches 
in Google and Google Groups were invaluable in 
providing information about how to move the / 
partition without fuss.  Dump/restore and change 
/'s /etc/fstab entry, as I recall.
