Greetings, all!

Odd.  Tried again using stand/sysinstall and this time "insisted" by using 
<W>rite to disk and ignored all warnings - it worked.
BUT, while fdisk ad1 shows:
  ====================
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1027 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
 
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
    start 63, size 3132612 (1529 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 194/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
    start 3132675, size 3068415 (1498 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 195/ head 0/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 385/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 6201090, size 10297665 (5028 Meg), flag 80 (active)
        beg: cyl 386/ head 0/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
  =====================

disklabel and newfs do NOT make ad1s3 available for uee <sigh>
