I'm a CS student currently using FreeBSD for fun and learning, but I'm hoping to one day make myself useful to the community, if nothing else as a tester. >From my limited experience, I think you should consider an update to the auto defaults, if nothing else to allow it to use more than one disk. Also, wouldn't it be a good idea to create a /home by default, or is there some reason I can't think of right now why you want it in the /usr filesystem?
