[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, when installing FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1 and choosing the auto partition layout (Guided -> Entire Disk -> Exit -> Save) with no seperate /usr/home partition and adding no user accounts to the system (Would you like to add users to the installed system now -> No) neither the /usr/home directory nor the /home symlink are created. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but adding users via adduser(8) or pw(8) without the directory and symlink in existance results in "mkdir (/home/xxx): No such file or directory", making the newly created user account unusable. Therefor I'm suggesting that bsdinstall creates /usr/home and the /home symlink in any case, regardless if users are added or not.
