Since /home is on a different partition you have to use softlinks.

You don't; you make it one time and then you just have to be sure you
mount /home; if you need /var/db in some early stage you should ask on
questions (actually this mail should have been posted there too.)

Don't see any, but this is the reason questions should be asked

Quote from FreeBSD-Newbies First Aid Kit
" FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions
about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help
requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies
questions. It is particularly important to send all installation
questions and answers to FreeBSD-Questions so that they only appear
in one place.
FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for FreeBSD help or
answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies.
