In the FreeBSD install, the user can eliminate the /home directory. Such an action would allow /usr/(subdirectories) and /root/(subdirectories) to be more flexible.

Using gpart to partition can be done; however, it may be difficult to repair the partitions later. Gpart can be buggy at times. This is the reason for the Debian disk.
Here is the partitioning scheme that can be done with gpart:
Code:
gpart add -s 800K -t '!Apple_Bootstrap' ad<disk number>
gpart add -s <size> -t freebsd-ufs ad<disk number>
gpart add -s <size> -t freebsd-swap ad<disk number>
gpart add -s <size> -t freebsd-ufs ad<disk number>
