I think you should remove the functions "diskPartitionWrite" and 
"diskLabelCommit", try this instead:

 debug=yes

 # Networking Options
 hostname=geo
 domainname=domain.com
 nameserver=192.168.0.254
 defaultrouter=192.168.0.254
 ipaddr=192.168.0.201
 netmask=255.255.255.0
 netDev=fxp0

 # Partitioning
 disk=ad0
 partition=all
 bootManager=boot
 diskPartitionEditor

 # disklabel
 ad0s1-1=ufs 524288 /
 ad0s1-2=swap 131072 none
 ad0s1-3=ufs 524288 /var
 ad0s1-4=ufs 0 /usr
 diskLabelEditor

 # install sys
 mediaSetCDROM
 distSetKernDeveloper
 installCommit


Cheers,
ch
