The closest I got was when I was tinkering around with parts of fdisk I have never used (Not from sysinstall), but it appeared I was editing nothing more than configuration files. Either way, I have not found a definitive answer saying that it IS or is NOT possible, so I would like to know what the case is.
Please note that I do mean slice and not partition, as is described in the FreeBSD handbook:

Did you do it at single user mode? Since there is only 1 slice in your system, it is root dir and it is not gonna work because the growfs ultility requires the slice totally unmounted to process.
What I did last time is took out the disk and put it in another system. Doesnt sound an elegant solution really, then I realize I could do it with the FreeBSD CD but havent had a chance to try it out
