Uhmp, is this typo?         ^^^^^^^
Lable "b" is swap-reserved (e.g da0s1b)

Create one slice for the whole disk (da0s1) and one label for / (da0s1a) on=
e=20
for swap (da0s1b) and at least one label for /usr (da0s1d on 5.x otherwise=
=20
ad0s1e). da0s1c reflects "the whole" disk.
If you're new to FreeBSD figure out the difference between slice and label=
=20
resp. partitions.
