This should do it for you. It does it automaticaly to create two images of the 
same size.

It depends on your needs. How much you need for your nanobsd installation. 
Check how big it is now and add some space for future. If you will leave 
enough room you won't need to reflash full disk but only image of one 
partition/slice.

If I remember correctly DATASIZE is size of additional partition f.ex. for 
application data that remains untouched between upgrading of nanobsd.
