foobar|FooBar drive:\
:nc#1024:ns#32:nt#64:\
:su#${bsdsectors}:\
:oc#0:pc#${bsdsectors}
Replace ${bsdsectors} above with the number of sectors you've assinged
to the BSD slice in the fdisk table. Note that the nc/ns/nt entries
are irrelevant, but you gotta have them there.
For the actual partitioning of the BSD slice, used `disklabel -e'.
It's more convenient than hand-fitting all of this into disktab.
