You can do it from /stand/sysinstall; select Configure and then Fdisk. You C(reate) the slice and press q; from the Label editor you can partition the slices and provide a mount point (and toggle NEWFS on). Then you press w, which is a commitment. You can put the new file systems in /etc/fstab then, mounting them where you like.
