	I've never used bsdlabel before; would someone please confirm
I've got this right?
	Status quo:

huff@>> bsdlabel da0s1
# /dev/da0s1:
8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a:  1024000        0    4.2BSD        0     0     0 
  b:  2097152  1024000      swap                    
  c:  8916012        0    unused        0     0         # "raw" part, don't edit
  d:  2097152  3121152    4.2BSD        0     0     0 

	As I understand it, if I run this:

huff@>> bsdlabel -w da0s1 -f /label.new

	where /label.new has:

# /dev/da0s1:
8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a:  1024000        0    4.2BSD        0     0     0 
  b:  2097152  1024000      swap                    
  c:  8916012        0    unused        0     0         # "raw" part, don't edit
  d:  2097152  3121152    4.2BSD        0     0     0 
  e:  3697708  5128304    4.2BSD        0     0     0 

	this will allocate the rest of the slice to partition 'e'.
(And we're ready to newfs.)
