Where is that blank partition located? I guess it isn't mounted by default? How could I mount it automatically at boot time?


Doing this gets pretty unix-geekish. So unless you're real comfortable with that kind of stuff, you're going to be heavily dependant on the kindness of people to explain things, and they're not likely to remember all of the tiny details necessary to step by step someone through it who doesn't know what they're doing.

So with the disclaimer out of the way:
developer version of the software
console shell access (maybe you can do this with hijack's ftp site commands, much more tedious)
unused slice is hd[a|c]2
format slice, see roger's page about manual mkfs'ing
find "preinit" and save it as /bin/hijack (mlord's hijack kernel will run this automatically)
create a dir to mount this at, many use /programs0
edit fstab or mnttab as you like
mess with the preinit scripts and/or hijack menu options to do stuff.
Roger or Peter put together a tarball of some supplemental libraries and utils which are v. nice including a multi-location configuration switcher
There's a telnetd out there as well

I've got a whole bunch of these bits rolled up as a tarball that I can unroll after changing versions to put all of these in place, and honestly I don't remeber exactly all of the small bits.
