Thanks guys, you really cleared this up for me.

The solution :-
1. Reduce the size of g and leave its offset unchanged.
2. Use partition h for the new filesystem.
3. Make partition h's offset to be g's offset + g's size.
4. Make h's size all that's left.
Here's a copy of the new disklabel :-
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 131072 0 ADVfs # (Cyl. 0 -
164*)
b: 327680 131072 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 164*-
574*)
c: 2050860 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 -
2569)
d: 327680 131072 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 164*-
574*)
e: 327680 131072 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 164*-
574*)
f: 327680 131072 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 164*-
574*)
g: 409600 458752 ADVfs # (Cyl. 574*-
1088*)
h: 1182508 868352 ADVfs # (Cyl. 1088*-
2569*)
Regards Phil.
