:Here's a diff... but I also wanted to insert a note of using fdisk
:interactively to change partition types (a very common situation), but
:couldn't figure out the command from the manpage (fdisk /dev/ad0 just

    Ok, not bad.  I'm going to edit-down the first part a bit... we really

    existing configuration intact, since they are likely to blow it up anyway.
    But everything else is fine, I'll commit something tonight.
