In the disklabel thing, it put wd0s0 before the other FreeBSD slices so that's what happened in /etc/fstab It wouldn't put the / before the dos which is mounted as /usr/dos1 in /etc/fstab... so like what happened was it put the dos slice right before the /, swap, /usr partitions so I had to edit the /etc/fstab and put the dos partition after /usr before it will mount correctly...
