How do I list my partition and slice layout? Is there a divvy?
For partitions, use fdisk. For slices use prtvtoc. There may be a nifty program like divvy in the future, but, for now, use the following command to list the slice layout to a file in /tmp:
      prtvtoc -f /tmp/mytoc
If you do a cat /tmp/mytoc, you will see something like the following, where;
   SLICE is the slice number in decimal, 
   TAG   designates whether it is a root, boot, swap, home, or .... slice 
   FLAG  field defines whether the slice is valid, read-only, and/or
         unmountable (that field is similar to the permissions field 644 
         or 755 in that it contains numbers that are added  
   START and SIZE  fields refer to the sector that the slice begins
                   on and the number of sectors that the slice occupies, 
                   respectively.

      #SLICE    TAG     FLAGS   START    SIZE
       0        0x5     0x201   63       16305912
       1        0x2     0x200   1076355  6152895
       2        0x3     0x201   642600   433755
       3        0x0     0x0     0        0
       4        0xb     0x200   7229250  8787555
       5        0x0     0x0     0        0
       6        0xc     0x201   64260    578340
       7        0x1     0x201   63       34
       8        0xd     0x201   97       15968
       9        0x0     0x0     0        0
      10        0x9     0x200   16065    48195
      11        0x0     0x0     0        0
      12        0x0     0x0     0        0
      13        0x0     0x0     0        0
      14        0x0     0x0     0        0
      15        0xf     0x201   16016805 16065
An important slice to look at is slice 4, the home slice, because you will use it as a perfect template for creating your own slices, when you need to. The 0xb and 0x200 are what I'm referring to.
