Dear All,

	I was trying to install FreeBSD on a 3.2GB HD. Rather than
having a few large FS'es, I tried to create more smaller FS'es.
Then partition layout was as follows.

	wd0s1 		DOS		150MB
	wd0s2	    EMPTY       	280MB
	wd0s3 	FreeBSD /		40MB
	wd0s4	Other FreeBSD slices	Rest of HD

	While subpartition /dev/wd0s4, I hited the limit after reaching
/dev/wd0s4h. Subsequent FS creation through the sysinstall menu
give me /dev/X.

	Is there a way to get pass this problem?? Or I just have to
have less FS'es which are larger in size?

	Thanks in advance.

Regards
S.T.Chang
