I've had my FreeBSD running from a logical slice for a while now. It's 
not too hard to do if you already have a working FreeBSD on one of the 
primary slices.

To be able to boot the system I use a patched GRUB boot manager and a 
patched FreeBSD /boot/loader

The tricky part is bootstrapping the system to get all this in place.
