Your partitioning is not correct. There is no point to put /bin and /etc
on their own partitions as they take very small amount of room.
I recommend to make another clean install and select Auto option when
creating slices
Usually separate partitions are recommended for the followind folders:
/, /tmp, /usr, /var, /home and swap
The purpose of separate partitions are that if one partition gets full
then other partitoons have still room and the system can still run. For
example if the user downloads files to the home directory, then only
/home partition can be filled up but /, /usr, /var and /tmp partitions
would still have some room and the system can function correctly. If
there would be only one big / partition (totally legal and possible to
have) then the user could fill that partiton up and system does not have
room for logging and storing temporary files which might introduce
unexpected behaviour.
Hope this explains the reason of the partitoning (Actually slicing in
FreeBSD as there is only one partition containing all the slices) and
therefore you can figure out the layout by yourself.

Hello,
I'm a new FreeBsd (French) user, and after 3 days of none-working
installs, I, now can boot my server with FreeBSD installed on it.
The problem is : it ask me to enter the path for the Shell, and I don't
know where it is. Here is the message I get when I attempt to boot :
"Can't exec /bin/sh fot /etc/rc : No such File or directory.
Enter full path of Shell or type Enter for /bin/sh"
If I type Enter, the system tells me that the file can't be found...I
don't know how to do!!!
I have installed the system as following : Standard installation
* / =>1GB
* /etc =>1GB
* /bin =>1GB
* /dev =>1GB
* swap partition =>2GB
* /var =>6GB
Install with "FTP passive"
This server is going to be a proxy server with vpn/ssl solution.
Did I make an error while installing, or is there a simple solution to
solve my (very very !!!) big problem??
Thanks a lot...
