that's aside from the fact that the root partition '/' always has to be the
first partition, for the simple reason that everything else is mounted on top
of it.
For the same reason:
/dev/ad1se /usr/local ....
/dev/ad1sf /usr
will not work.
For this particular case (root not first mount), sysinstall could be made
smarter.
