Many quick replies.  Much thanks to Paul Fiengo, James Scott, Sammy, Chirs
Barnard, Bob Payne, Michael Horton, Chris Dupre, etc...

The concensus is as long as I don't overlap cylinders, I'll be okay.  And
don't forget to label the disk before quitting format.

Thanks again.
Daryl

Don't laugh now, I've never done this before.  I have a big 72GB drive in
my Sun 280R.   Can I format->partition slice 7 without affecting the
currently in use partition slices?  I need about 30GB on slice 7.  So I'll
just start at cylinder 4951-<whatever>.  Will that mess up any of the other
slices or destroy data?  Thanks in advance.
