Okay, the question is then how do I remove my /dev/hda2/ and merge it
to /dev/hda3/ given by the fdisk output?


>Disk /dev/hda: 122.9 GB, 122942324736 bytes
>255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14946 cylinders
>Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
>
>   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
>/dev/hda1   *           1        3824    30716248+   7  HPFS/NTFS
>/dev/hda2            3825        7740    31455270   a5  FreeBSD
