Well, I could tell you to simply assign mountpoints to them and make
sure that newfs was set to ``Y'', but I happen to know that it would
only die later on, when it hits a bug I recently fixed in
-current. :-(

I'd just use sysinstall to write the partition info and then use
disklabel to carve it up for now.  I should have something much better
available for 2.2 and 3.0.
