Does anyone know how to add another partition on the same drive to a live
2.0.5 system?  Under 2.0, you could run sysinstall again and go through
the nice & easy creation of the partition, disk labeling, and actually
making the file system, then quit the program.  Under 2.0.5, the
sysinstall utility doesn't allow this unless you Comit, but then it also
wants to install stuff.

The regular text based fdisk & disklabel (fdisk in particular) are much
harder to use, especially with drives with >1024 cyls.

Any help would be most welcomed!
