Section 5.3 of the handbook (disk-organization) says:
To this day, some tools may operate oddly if told to work on
partition d, so sysinstall will not normally create partition d.
However, when using the `automatic defaults' option from sysinstall on my system, it does create a partition d for /var, as seen on this text-screenshot:
FreeBSD Disklabel Editor
Disk: ad0 Partition name: ad0s3 Free: 0 blocks (0MB)
Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs
---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- -----
ad0s3a / 256MB UFS2 Y
ad0s3b swap 1006MB SWAP
ad0s3d /var 256MB UFS2+S Y
ad0s3e /tmp 256MB UFS2+S Y
ad0s3f /usr 7781MB UFS2+S Y
The following commands are valid here (upper or lower case):
C = Create D = Delete M = Mount pt. W = Write
N = Newfs Opts Q = Finish S = Toggle SoftUpdates Z = Custom Newfs
T = Toggle Newfs U = Undo A = Auto Defaults R = Delete+Merge
Use F1 or ? to get more help, arrow keys to select.
