I heard that!

It's important to prepare for the worst, so to speak. Once your setup is set
up, it's a pain to change it. At some point Partition Magic may support FFS
slices, but not yet.

That in mind, here's what I've got:

Filesystem    Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s2a   152M    33M   107M    24%    /
/dev/ad0s2d   139M    21M   107M    16%    /home
/dev/ad0s2h   203M    58K   187M     0%    /tmp
/dev/ad0s2e   2.6G   1.1G   1.3G    45%    /usr
/dev/ad0s2f   356M   274M    53M    84%    /usr/src
/dev/ad0s2g   305M    78M   203M    28%    /var
procfs        4.1K   4.1K     0B   100%    /proc
/dev/ad0s1    2.1G   758M   1.3G    36%    /mnt/windows
/dev/afd0s4   100M    92M   8.0M    92%    /mnt/zip

I chose a separate /home because that's where I keep all my
customized/personal things (like my kernel config file, sendmail.mc, etc.).
That way if I just back that slice off I'm in OK shape.

Separate /tmp and /var because I wasn't thinking clearly.

And separate /usr/src because I wanted it.
