I think I have a decent way to make the application deal with two 1.2
TB filesystems. Obviously bsdlabel is limited to 2TB, but I should
be able to mount a partition from the second slice.
So how do I accomplish this? Fdisk apparently won't make that second
slice that crosses the 2TB boundary...
Sorry for the rookie questions, but I've done dozens of searches and
there's lots of discussion of the issues but no real obvious solutions.

Sysinstall recognized the drive properly and everything looked
dandy during install. However, it turns out that fdisk and
bsdlabel both just chopped off the last partition at 248GB. (why
248gb and not 2tb?)
Reading the various mailing lists, it strikes me that I need to
make partition 1 be normal MBR, and then use GPT to create another
partition table in slice 2. Makes sense to me.
How? In theory this seems simple, but I can't figure out how to
modify the slices without fdisk, which won't play ball with the
larger size.
And why 248GB anyway? I'd almost be willing to lose the extra .4tb
if it just stopped at 2TB. Why does it slap back down to 248gb?
NOTE: yes I already understand about PC BIOS and MBR, and not
reading GPT format. The question is -- how do I make them coexist?
