+This is the FreeBSD DiskLabel Editor.
+
+If you're new to this installation, then you should first understand
+how FreeBSD 2.0.5's new "slices" paradigm for looking at disk storage
+works. It's not very hard to understand. A "fully qualified slice name",
+that is the name of the file we open in /dev to talk to the slice,
+is optionally broken into 3 parts:
+
+ First you have the disk name. Assume we have two SCSI
+ drives in our system, which gives us `sd0' and `sd1'.
+
+ Next you have the "Slice" (or "Master Partition") number,
+ as seen in the Partition Editor. Assume that our sd0 contains
+ two slices, a FreeBSD slice and a DOS slice. This gives us
+ sd0s1 and sd0s2. Let's also say that sd1 is completely devoted
+ to FreeBSD, so we have only one slice there: sd1s1.
+
+ Next, if a slice is a FreeBSD slice, you have a number of
+ (confusingly named) "partitions" you can put inside of it.
+ These FreeBSD partitions are where various filesystems or swap
+ areas live, and using our hypothetical two-SCSI-disk machine
+ again, we might have something like the following layout on sd0:
+
+ Name Mountpoint
+ ---- ----------
+ sd0s1a /
+ sd0s1b <swap space>
+ sd0s1e /usr
+
+ Because of historical convention, there is also a short-cut,
+ or "compatibility slice", that is maintained for easy access
+ to the first FreeBSD slice on a disk for those programs which
+ still don't know how to deal with the new slice scheme.
+ The compatibility slice names for our filesystem above would
+ look like:
+
+ Name Mountpoint
+ ---- ----------
+ sd0a /
+ sd0b <swap space>
+ sd0e /usr
+
+ FreeBSD automatically maps the compatibility slice to the first
+ FreeBSD slice it finds (in this case, sd0s1). You may have multiple
+ FreeBSD slices on a drive, but only the first one may be the
+ compatibility slice!
+
+ The compatibility slice will eventually be phased out, but
+ it is still important right now for several reasons:
+
+ 1. Some programs, as mentioned before, still don't work
+ with the slice paradigm and need time to catch up.
+
+ 2. The FreeBSD boot blocks are unable to look for
+ a root file system in anything but a compatibility
+ slice right now. This means that our root will always
+ show up on "sd0a" in the above scenario, even though
+ it really lives over on sd0s1a and would otherwise be
+ referred to by its full slice name.
+
+Once you understand all this, then the label editor becomes fairly
+simple. You're either carving up the FreeBSD slices displayed at the
+top of the screen into smaller pieces (displayed in the middle of the
+screen) and then putting FreeBSD file systems on them, Or you're just
+mounting existing partitions/slices into your filesystem hierarchy;
+this editor lets you do both. Since a DOS partition is also just
+another slice as far as FreeBSD is concerned, you can mount one into
+in your filesystem hierarchy just as easily with this editor. For
+FreeBSD partitions you can also toggle the "newfs" state so that
+the partitions are either (re)created from scratch or simply checked
+and mounted (the contents are preserved).
+
+When you're done, type `Q' to exit.
+
+No actual changes will be made to the disk until you (C)ommit from the
+Install menu! You're working with what is essentially a copy of
+the disk label(s), both here and in the Master Partition Editor.
