I just went through this, sort of. I wanted to add a new hard drive and have it be the new partition, /var in your instance. I followed the instructions in this FAQ and it worked... http://doc.pip.ru/FreeBSD/faq/FAQ39.html Budget a good hour to do it, but none of it was particularly difficult, and I am a newbie. Some of the information may also be applicable if you want to switch var to an existing empty partition.
