formatting hardrive

[Antoine Jacoutot]

Hi !

Ok, I'm at a point where I'm ready to cry :(
Is there ANY easy way to partition/slice a hardrive for FreeBSD ?????
I spent all morning playing with bsdlabel, sysinstall... I just want to 
partition a second hardrive so I could dump/restore the content of my first 
drive.
So, I tried sysinstall post-install tools to create the slices and all, but 
all I get are errors like "can't write to ad2", or "can't mount /dev/ad2s1a 
on /mnt" ....
Basically what I want is:
ad2s1a --> /mnt
ad2s1b --> SWAP
ad2s1d --> /mnt/tmp
ad2s1e --> /mnt/var
ad2s1f --> /mnt/usr

So, all I have to do after is dump / --> /mnt, /tmp --> /mnt/tmp ... and so 
on.
I sware I tried all morning without any kind of success :(

I would really appreciate some help.

Thanks in advance.
