BTW, some places have recommended commercial solution like Norton Ghost
or Partition Magic. Do these products work on FreeBSD's UFS format and
grok partitions-in-a-slice?
Partition Magic only manipulates slices and does not know anything
about partitions within slices - especially FreeBSD partitio

That isn't what "dangerously dedicated" means.It appears you
have a standard setup with just one slice of 4 used. A dangerously
disk would have partitions of /dev/da0
My FreeBSD-4.9 setup uses one drive in "dangerously dedicated partition"
where all of my partitions live in one slice:
$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocksUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a 64462 37886 2142064%/
/dev/da0s1e 64462 4 5
