I wouldn't worry about this. If /, /usr, and /var are all on drive 0,
go ahead with the install. You can deal with the other drive later.

Your configuration really isn't a problem, but I believe sysinstall(8)
would fall short if you wanted to put different parts of the base
system on different drives (say / and /usr on one and /var on
another). For a more complex, "unsupported install" like that, you
would have to install on one disk and then reconfigure things once you
have an installed system.
