Description Chris Ricker 1999-05-08 14:59:49 UTC 
Like the subject says ;-).

The kernel on your boot images (and probably Disk Druid)
don't understand the *BSD slices-in-a-partition scheme.
It'd be nice to add that so that I could install off of
a FreeBSD slice, mount slices under Disk Druid, etc.

The same thing is true of Solaris slices, for that matter.

later,
chris
