The main two reasons for dividing up your FreeBSD disk in to partitions
rather than making just one big partition are to reduce the threat of
runaway processes and to manage backup and restore sizes.
Think those things out to meet your needs and resources.

OK. But then what would be ideal slice size for /, /var, /usr, /boot?
A word of probable caution (though I stand ready to be corrected):
FreeBSD isn't like Linux in the fact that it expects /boot to be
in / (the 'a' slice of whatever disk the bootmgr has been instructed
to use)... so a seperate /boot will likely get you in trouble....
I don't *think* I'm wrong on this; search the list archives for
a discussion of this within the last 60 days or so. If I *am* wrong,
perhaps someone with more Unix-fu (well, spefically FBSD-fu) can
give a more correct explanation of the funny idea in the back of my head....
