My harddrive consists of a 125 mb dos partition (almost all of which is 
freespace), a 100mb unused partition, 84mb of freebsd and 16 mb of 
freebsd swap.  I'd like to use the 100mb unused partition for freebsd, 
for example by moving alot of /usr there, or by combining it with the 
existing bsd partition (so long as i don't lose any existing data - i 
don't have any other good backup medium, but maybe i could use the dos 
partition?).

what would be the easiest way to accomplish this?
