Actually, ad1s1g is a FreeBSD "partition," not a "slice." The "slice" is
ad1s1 (which is a disk "partition" in the Linux/DOS world; confused

Create the /http directory, then edit the partition's entry in /etc/fstab
to correct the mount point name. Then, either reboot the machine, or
unmount and remount the partition.
