Holy cow! This is about the only thing that you can't fix after
installation, and you want to get it right. The LAST THING you'd want
to be doing is taking advice from a newbie, or from this list,
or anyone met on this list.
Even if you know that someone here knows what they're talking about, or
correspond in private email, you're taking a risk compared to the
alternative. If you ask about something like this in freebsd-questions
and someone gives you a stupid, biased or mistaken answer, there's
hundreds of others ready to correct them. You don't want to throw that
opportunity away when your disk depends on it.
