Subject:   200Gig disk shrinks to 124 upon install

I casually installed a 200 Gig dis on a 4.3-stable freebsd system.  I  
quickly followed the directions in  
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks- 
adding.html section "12.3.2.2 Dedicated".  df -g now reports that the  
resulting disk is only 124 Gig, so I'm sad and confused.  I expected  
some shrinkage, but not quite so much.   ideas?

This is what disklabel reports...

# disklabel ad3

thanks for any help - ben
