A typical FreeBSD installation on one HDD uses two partitions:
a FreeBSD partition and a swap partition. Inside the FreeBSD

about slices, not partitions.
The usual BSD terminology is just the reverse of this.
What MS calls partitions are usually known in FreeBSD terminology
as "slices".
Geez, what was I thinking! Of course you (and everybody else in this
thread) is right and I am wrong. I'll go stand in the corner now.
