(BSD)*partition*

b is swap partition                              
c is the whole slice
d is not used for historical reasons but could be used
e is mostly used for /var
f is mostly used for /usr

So there is only d, e, f left. Try f first. (Thats why its called f :-) ).

You might want to read the FAQ about partitions and slices.
