I used the same procedure, but with the size set to 1G (on i386) I kept getting some sort of overrun problem with newfs; I wasn't able to track down the cause to either newfs or disklabel, but creating a separate "a" partition seems to have done the trick in my case. Unfortunately I can't say for certain if that fixes the problem or merely avoids it. Cheers, Chris.
