One last question ... hopefully lol. am I going to run into any issues w/
the default fbsd6 layout?

What I think I failed to previously mention is that this machine started out
with fbsd6.x, was upgraded many times from 6x though 7.1 where it fell into

be a moot point if base won't fit on rot root slice.
