root mirror with only 1 free partition ??

Is it possible to encapsulate & mirror the root disk if you have
only 1 free partition ?? The doc says 2, vxassist barfs unless
it has two. Our preferred filesystem layout needs 7 partitions
for filesystems, swap, and the "backup" partition.

A quick response would be most appreciated, I've got 30 machines
to configure ....

thanks,

It is my understanding that volume manager reguires slice 3 and 4 to be
available.

If you creating root disk group with another disks, you can initilize disk
with nopriv option. Maybe that work, but this is very dangerous
