I gotta ask for help or I'm gonna hose my multi-boot system.

I've got an A6 primary partition with various /usr and /var style partitions
within. Pretty standard, but I ran out of disk space. I added a second
primary A6 partition in the freespace of the same disk using fdisk, but
cannot figure out how to use disklabel and newfs properly to add this new
partition and then mount it as /var/www/htdocs. When I try to use disklabel,
it seems to only want to use my existing primary partition, and not the new
one. I have read the manual, which appears to be in Chinese, and then I read
the FAQ, which says, "This will seem confusing." Yeah? Well no shit! :)
The parameters of this new partition are as follows:
-first physical sector 15,052,905 (Cyl 937, Hd 0, Sect 1)
-last physical sector 19,261,934 (Cyl 1198, Hd 254, Sect 63)
-total physical sectors: 4,209,030 (2,055.2MB)
-physical geometry: 1,823 Cyls, 255 Hds, 63 Sects

Can someone walk me through this as if I were a monkey, and take me
step-by-step? I wanna tell disklabel it's got to be /var/www/htdocs on the
above partition, then run newfs, then mount it, and then add it to my fstab
for good.

Since it took my machine almost a full day to compile the kernel + all the
binaries up to -CURRENT, I'd much rather not have to wipe it clean and
reinstall with the correct partition size and do it all over again. On i386,
in case you didn't guess. And I'm wearing my OpenBSD greenie t-shirt as I
write this!!

Thanks,

Kelly
