Thanks!

Yes, this is the FreeBSD-slice

 hda1: <bsd: hda10 hda11 hda12 hda13 >
 
and this is the DragonFly-slice

 hda2: <bsd: hda14 hda15 hda16 hda17 >

..strange numbering, shouldn't it look like this?
 hda2: <bsd: hda20 hda21 hda22 hda23 >


One thing I found particularly interesting is that _both_ /dev/hda2 and
/dev/hda14 seem to represent /dev/ad0s2a, and I can even mount them both at
the same time!
