   Okay, everybody agrees that /stand/sysinstall is the way to partition
   and label a new disk driver. Okay, fine. Do all of that. The partition
   works fine. The labeling part, however, is another story:

Error mounting /dev/da1s1b on /home2 : Invalid argument
Error mounting /dev/da1s1d on /home3 : Invalid argument
Error mounting /dev/da1s1a on /new/ports : Invalid argument
Error mounting /dev/da1s1e on /new/root : Invalid argument
Error mounting /dev/da1s1h on /new/src : Invalid argument
Error mounting /dev/da1s1g on /new/usr : Invalid argument
Error mounting /dev/da1s1f on /new/var : Invalid argument

	Okay, what the hell is going on here? I have been fighting
   with this damn thing all day, and I am just a bit annoyed.

	The problem appears to be:

bash-2.04# mount /dev/da1s1a /new/root
mount: /dev/da1s1a on /new/root: incorrect super block

   because apparently, /stand/sysinstall did NOT bother to create the slices?
