The brutal and brute-force approach can work - better if you boot from a USB stick, of course. You can untar base.tzx and kernel.tzx in your /, with filesystems mounted. As Polytropon says, do a backup of what you'll want afterwards. This approach will leave a lot of cruft (old versions of shared

You can simply newfs the device itself, without a volume label, slice, or partition. That's the normal thing to do with malloc devices, or additional disks. If the disk doesn't require a boot loader, isn't the root device, etc. that may be the best thing to do. Your caution about EXT* is spot-in
