Or is it the "root of > usr" and the "root of the root" file systems? You'll find a pretty good explanation of this at: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~sheldonh/design44bsd/ See section 7 (Filesystems).

Please don't reproduce it off-site, or we'll lose the rights to have it on our site at all. Ciao, Sheldon.
