Do: "fdisk <diskname>" where <diskname> is something like ad0 for IDE and da0 for SCSI. It should say something "The data for partition X is:" where X is 1-4. If three of them say <UNUSED> and the remaining (usually partition 1) says: "start 0" that means it is dangerously dedicated. If it says "start 63" or another non-zero number, it is a compatible slice. --Rick C.
