However, I need to create an e2fs filesystem on that partition and I haven't been able to determine how to do this. I can't mke2fs /dev/ad4s2 as that is not a valid block device. It seems that I need to create a slice for the new filesystem (creating /dev/ad4s2a) and then create the filesystem, but /stand/sysinstall does not give me access to the Linux filesystem. I've searched on google and posted my question on #freebsd on DALnet and Undernet and nobody seems to know, so, I'm hoping that somebody on this list can help. Thanks.
