I have a machine with BETA from 0930 installed:

FreeBSD PacHell.TelcoSucks.org 3.0-19980930-BETA FreeBSD 3.0-19980930-BETA #2: Sun Oct  4 05:12:58 PDT 1998     root@PacHell.TelcoSucks.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/PACHELL  i386

The system has several disks, two of them are configured like this:

PacHell root / # fdisk da2
******* Working on device /dev/rda2 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1109 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1109 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 1, size 17816084 (8699 Meg), flag 80 (active)
        beg: cyl 0/ sector 2/ head 0;
        end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 254

PacHell root / # fdisk da3
******* Working on device /dev/rda3 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1109 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

        end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 254

PacHell root / # disklabel da2
# /dev/rda2c:
type: SCSI
disk: da2s4
label: 
flags:

8 partitions:

  c: 17816084        0    unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0 - 1108*)
  e: 17816084        0    4.2BSD     1024  8192    16   # (Cyl.    0 - 1108*)


PacHell root / # disklabel da3

Then these two disks are configured as ccd0:

PacHell root / # cat /etc/ccd.conf 
ccd0    16      none    /dev/da2s4e /dev/da3s4e

Doing a newfs on it:

PacHell root / # newfs /dev/ccd0c
newfs: /dev/ccd0c: not a character-special device
Warning: 3072 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/ccd0c:     35632128 sectors in 8700 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors
