Once I create my 5 slices, here's what I see once I'm done with the Disklabel Editor Part Mount Size Newfs ---- ----- ---- ----- da0s1a / 996MB UFS Y da0s2b swap 251MB SWAP da0s3e /var 996MB UFS Y da0s4e /opt 996MB UFS Y X /usr 5436MB UFS Y It will always create a X device anything after the 4th patition. I was curious and commited the install and during creation of the filesystems, it gave the error "Device X does not exist". Sorry if I'm sending to the wrong list, I was told this was a SCSI issue.
