know the partition number and the kernel must support UnixWare disk slices

When you have finished using it and umounted you need to also deallocate

To create the BFS image under UnixWare you need to find out first which
slice contains it. The command prtvtoc(1M) is your friend:

(assuming your root disk is on target=0, lun=0, bus=0, controller=0). Then you
look for the slice with tag "STAND", which is usually slice 10. With this
information you can use dd(1) to create the BFS image:
