installation question (keeping partition untouched)



Hi,

I have a machine with the OpenBSD 3.4 installed, and I want to install the OpenBSD 3.5 (via ftp), without formating some partitions (like /home, /var/www/htdocs, etc). I saw in the FAQ that we can leave some partitions untouched, but the FAQ don't say how:

"Note that it is possible to leave some partitions untouched in this process, such as a /home, but otherwise, assume everything else is overwritten.."

Can anyone help me ? I looked at the disklabel FAQ/man page and I didn't find any option to do not format a partition. I also didn't find anything helpful in google...

Thanks,
