    Hi, I installed FreeBSD on a hard disk with 2 slices.
    One is an NTFS(slice 1) and the other for FreeBSD
    (slice 2). Is it possible to view FreeBSD partitions
    within the second slice from another FreeBSD
    installation that I have? How can I do this, as I
    believe FreeBSD can only read slices but not
    partitions within a slice.

    Both are IDE hard disks for x86 arch,

    thanks in advance
    Tk
