I'm short on space.  The disk is a Seagate ST1480N which I suspect
has a capacity of ~400MB, and I don't see any unused partitions:

  # disklabel sd0
  /dev/rsd0c:
  type: SCSI
  disk: ST1480   SUN042
  label: SUN0424 cyl 1151
  flags:
  bytes/sector: 512
  sectors/track: 80
  tracks/cylinder: 9
  sectors/cylinder: 720
  cylinders: 1151
  total sectors: 828720
  rpm: 4400
  interleave: 1
  trackskew: 0
  cylinderskew: 0
  headswitch: 0           # milliseconds
  track-to-track seek: 0  # milliseconds
  drivedata: 0
  
  8 partitions:
  #        size   offset     fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
    a:   259920        0     4.2BSD     1024  8192    16   # (Cyl.    0 - 360)
    b:    66240   259920       swap                        # (Cyl.  361 - 452)
    c:   828720        0    unknown                        # (Cyl.    0 - 1150)
    g:   236160   326160     4.2BSD     1024  8192    16   # (Cyl.  453 - 780)
