	I understand about freebsd's new slice code.
	
	Currently I have sd0s4 as my FreeBSD partition, and I want to
	have a user data slice on logical slice. (sd0s5)
	
	B'cos all of my primary partitions are used
	 sd0s1 : dos
	 sd0s2 : os2 boot mgr
	 sd0s3 : extend
	 sd0s4 : freebsd
	 sd0s5 : freebsd at logical 1
	 sd0s6 : os2 at logical 2

	so I want to know how to disklabel sd0s5 ....
	disklabel -e sd0s5 will fail...while sd0s5 partition id is 0xa5
	and /dev/?sd0s5? exist.
