After more research, I think the answer to this is no. There is a

I have BOTH "ad0" (IDE HDD) AND "da0" (SCSI device #0). I posted detailed BIOS
settings and install steps in previous emails. I've attached the BIOS and SCSI
BIOS settings (with footnotes).
I have installed FreeBSD on da0 multiple times, each time creating a single
slice/partition on da0, and s

Will someone please explain in detail how to run the FreeBSD fdisk util outside
of the freebsd installer? Please provide detailed steps.
What would the experts do next in this situation? I've checked and
