Well, I'd be really interested to know why you think you need so many partitions. It's just an invitation to run out of space in one partition and have plenty in another, and to create a rats nest of directory symlinks. If you really want to do it, though, you have two choices: 1. Use Vinum and create as many file systems as you want. 2. Create additional slices and put the file systems on them. Note that you can't use the c partition for file systems, and it's good practice to use the b partition only for swap space.
