IMHO if this is an additional disk on top of the OS disk why not just create one root partition on the drive and newfs it.. than create directories on the new partition? you don't really need to break it up for any reason. you could just make a /home2 for example and than ln -s /new to /home2/new. this way you only have one entry in the fstab for all of your new directories.
