I've read tons of stuff on the web. still trying to understand the basics of
the FreeBSD installation. maybe if anyone could explain the following term,
concepts it would make a dent:

disk labeling  (vs. slices, partitions, mounting points ).
slices, (vs partitions, what's the difference).
mounting points.
how dirs (eg. \ ) are mounted to the partitions ( or is it slices ), why,
how, when?

Thanks (newbie)
