Root filesystem

[Luciano Mannucci]

I would like to move the root filesystem of one of my FreeBSD machines
keeping the boot slice and reusing the space for another partition.
Can it be done? I know you can tell from which disk to boot at the
initial prompt by escaping to the prompt and setting a variable; can
this be saved for next boot?
where do I find the docs about the details of this? I've had a look
at the handbook but it doesn't seem to cover nonstandard things...

Luciano.
