Section 5.3 of the handbook (disk-organization) says: To this day, some tools may operate oddly if told to work on partition d, so sysinstall will not normally create partition d. However, when using the `automatic defaults' option from sysinstall on my system, it does create a partition d for /var, as seen on this text- screenshot: FreeBSD Disklabel Editor Disk: ad0 Partition name: ad0s3 Free: 0 blocks (0MB) Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ad0s3a / 256MB UFS2 Y ad0s3b swap 1006MB SWAP ad0s3d /var 256MB UFS2+S Y ad0s3e /tmp 256MB UFS2+S Y ad0s3f /usr 7781MB UFS2+S Y The following commands are valid here (upper or lower case): C = Create D = Delete M = Mount pt.
